Is the bore of a clutch master cylinder completely different from the brake master cylinder? Someone gave me a spare tin pot clutch master cylinder to use for the brakes then it occured to me that the difference lies in the bore diameter.

according to Kieth Calver - bore diameters are the same but there is no internal return on a clutch cylinder hence this mod is a bit dodgy - sticky brakes = hot brakes = no brakes very quickly = accidents... i imagine
