My new (made in Taiwan!!!) Raybestos master cylinder with a 1" bore has arrived and will have to wait till my booster is rebuilt before I can fit it up.
I just received the latest AMES catalogue and it doesn't actually list a new master cylinder for a 1966 car with Power Brakes? Nor does it specify the bore diameter.
And also it does not specify the bore diameter for the 1966 rebuild kit (PR201DK).
I'll write to AMES and ask some questions in the hope it might get some clarity.
All this is indeed very confusing I agree.

My NEW 1" MC I installed from NAPA was made in Taiwan as well. Probably the same manufacturer. That's the one that had the machining issue in the piston. So pay particular attention to that when fitting it to the booster.
