Princeable is, smaller the master cylinder bore is the more pressure at wheel cylinders in your case should be 1/2 inch or 13mm, master that is so should work OK.....
The older i get the earlier it seems to get late.

Thanks for advice your all a great help

I fitted the 11/16 master cylinder from a Honda VFR800, can't remember manufacturer and it works perfectly driving 2 disc brakes.
