wheel cylinder bore size

Anybody know the bore sizes for front/rear wheel cylinders for a '66 Delta 88? Checker Auto seems to have both the front and the rears available but it mentions multiple bore sizes.

Thanks!

Well, according to your link, there is a single rear bore size (1") and two front bore sizes (1 1/8" or 1 3/16"). If you're replacing both front cylinders, just get the larger ones. The additional piston area will provide a small increase in stopping power (which is why they were used on the police package), at the expense of slightly longer pedal travel.

wheel cylinder info

Duh - difference in bore sizes was front and rear. And I can use the police-spec ones with no issue? GREAT! I'm all for more stopping power. Thanks for the info - much appreciated!
