Default MK1 FRS gearbox conversion

Hi guys

For those that have done this conversion, what size master cylinder did you use for the hydraulic clutch conversion?
Having difficulty fitting the standard ford cylinder in my xr2 so looking to fit a Girling one.

Im sure 0.625 is the best all round one to have, I have a 0.7 on mine as I had it laying around so will test it when the ECU is back and see if I need to change it

Already ordered a 0.75 😂 was advised by someone else before you guys replied that was the perfect size!
Will see how I get on with that.

Cheers

What ends/pipework did you guys use for connecting to slave cylinder and reservoir?
Standard FRS pipework is no use and struggling to see what ends etc I need on Burton Powers website?

Crazycage made me a line up. I did Google to find what the thread it is for the master cylinder.
