Hi,
I am in the process of restoring the brakes a 1974 Porsche 914 and upon reading up on a Porsche forum found a discussion about changing the original 17mm brake master cylinder with a 19mm one. A number of individuals indicated that doing so would reduce braking pressure and I was unclear as to why that would be.
It would seem to me that with all brake lines and calipers staying the same that a 19mm master cylinder (assuming same brake pedal travel and force) would push more fluid through the lines and increase pressure.
Please help me understand if I am incorrect,
thx
