Default 22.2mm vs 23.8mm Master Cylinders

22.2mm vs 23.8mm Master Cylinders, are they interchangable and is the bigger one better to have?

Cheers!

They are interchangeable yes, different piston size inside is the difference.....bigger bore in effect will move more fluid/give better braking force.

My local motor factors (JR Components) can get them next day from their supplier, didnt have any on the shelf but phoned the supplier and said no problem!
They are also on ebay for £10 more here:

So must be plenty floating around?!
