If the diameter of a brake cilinder is increased from 7/8" to 1" you 
will also increase the force on the brake shoes by 30%, so do it on all 
front cilinders. However pedal travel will increase, so beware of the 
rim of crud in the MBC if it is old. This rim may damage your seal. 
Leave the rear cilinders as they are.
