The Ford Barn

I am putting '40 Ford Lockheed style brakes on my Model A. I am using a Vacuum type booster. Here's my question: what dual reservoir master cylinder would I want to use? It's my understanding that the original cylinder bore was 1 1/16" bore, Is that correct? The front and rear wheel cylinders are different bore sizes so how would that work with a dual Master? To top it off I am going to need to use a remote reservoir, Would that require a special master or would you just add a remote reservoir to a regular type master. Thanks!
