Default AP Master cylinder sizes for brakes and clutch.

Need some help on selecting the correct master cylinder sizes for my pedal box.

Cylinder will be AP short body cylinders.

Specs are

Pedal Box - Tilton with 6.22:1 pedal ratio

Front brakes - Evo 8 Brembos

Rear Brakes - Evo 8 Brembos

Clutch - AP 4 Paddle with heavy duty cover.

I was thinking .625 for front brakes and .70 for the rears and clutch.

Can anyone confirm this or offer any advise?

Cheers.

Forgot to mention that it a Hyundai Slave which are apparently 0.81 (13/16") which is 20.6mm metric.



To be honest, I bought it before I realised these things need properly speccing and it might be unsuitable for me? I'm not sure. I just needed a clutch slave and thought it looked quite neat an OEM-looking.
