Most of the manual conversions that I've seen seem to be geared towards drag racers concerned about weight who have huge duration camshafts and therefore no vacuum. Drag cars are not particularly known for their brakes (at least not in a good way IMO) and function is regularly sacrified for weight in order to optimize straight line performance. The 1.06" master cylinder probably works fine for the application it was intended for...but that's not to say that it will work well for all applications.

All im saying is that I haven't seen any companies offering this adapter with a 7/8" master. I'm not saying that they aren't made. I called bmr and one other company that makes these kits and they both don't offer the adapter alone.
