done the same conversion on mine had to buy a new master cylinder only a standard one.. as the bigger calipres require more fluid to fill them the first time i pumped the brakes it lifted the seals out the seats in the master cylinder were they wer old and weakend the cheapest place i found for a new one was eurocarparts not to sure if there a country wide shop managed to get one for £60 brand new (trade price)
