I did have this Force 10 in my red car. I had a leak at a fitting and blamed it on the master cylinder. I swapped to another one and found that the fitting itself was to blame. I shelved the Force 10 MC, figuring I'd find a place for it somewhere, eventually.
I'm not afraid to spend a buck but it is fun looking for creative ways to do things as cheap as possible.
The manual master cylinder I had was a 15/16" and because it was manual, the pedal travel was a bit more than I liked. Having a power assisted system often means you can go slightly larger bore since the boost will reduce the effort to stop the car. When I was screwing around trying to make hydroboost work, I had a 1 1/8" master cylinder for it. Without boost, THAT would take a LOT of leg force to stop a car.
