Note, the Cobra IS a man's car. Braking is not as easy as you might think it ought to be. Remember the 0-100-0 test? Well, most of thta was braking and most of that was two feet on the brake pedal.
IIRC, I had a 3/4" on the rear and a 1" or maybe 7/8" on the front, and we went with down to a smaller 3/4" master on the front for more pressure. I think I now have 3/4" masters on both the front and rear. We replaced them both.

I know what you are saying, But I have many cars with manual brakes. Most of them manual drum brakes. This Cobra just doesn't seem right. With the size of these brakes, and the extremely light weight of my alloy cobra, it just simply should stop better.
