Radial clutch cylinder sizing

follwing other post, which bore woudl be best on a 996? I have a 19x20 (I think!) brake to fit, would 16x18 be right for the clutch?

what difference does the bore make?

the brake and clutch sizes are differant, thats not unusual.

diffreant sizes give diffeant level of feel / pull rate, for example on the brake you can overdoit and remove the feel from the brake, clutch is similar scenario but less crucial.

so which would you go for mate - 16x18 a good compromise on the clutch?

You've got it reversed: the smaller the clutch master cylinder diameter -the lighter the pull; the larger the slave cylinder diameter - the lighter the pull. So, the (early) 13mm stock master has a lighter pull than the 16mm Brembo radial which has a lighter pull than the 19mm diameter of the 19x20.
