Acquiring the parts to convert '35 to juice brakes using Lincoln style Bendix brakes. Using standard 1 1/16 bore Lockheed master cylinder, what sized front and rear wheel cylinders do these Lincolns run? I have in my possession, a nice pair of stainless sleeved 15/16" dia wheel cylinders I was planning on using out back, unsure of what dia front cylinders to order?

I used the wheel cylinders that came with the MT car Bendix brakes. I do not know size,so can not help there.
I did find that the 1 1/16 master cylinder required too much pedal pressure. I switched to a 1” Mustang dual M C and it was much better.
I have this set up on two cars.

According to Rock Auto Lincoln used 1.125" on the front and 1" on the rear.
