Correct, but I should have also mentioned that he also has a 7/8" brake master
cylinder, so he didn't simply switch them. To make thinks difficult, the brake
cylinder (which was his rebuilt original) was clearly marked as a 7/8" size,
but the cheap reproduction had no such markings, part numbers or other
identifications on it.

Yes, that's the BJ8 brake master....

 Follow up to the Heavy clutch question.
 We removed the clutch master cylinder & discovered that it was a 7/8" bore
 which is two sizes larger than a stock BJ7 clutch master cylinder. We
 installed the stock cylinder & as you would expect, the pressure required to
 operate the clutch was dramatically reduced.
 Thanks,
