Calling for a 17mm Master Cylinder, Don't like the 19mm!! Options

[Artfrombama]

Replaced the OE 17mm that came on my 74 because it was leaking out of the rear. Replaced it with the 19mm that is currently offered as a replacement.

Not happy with the increased pedal pressure required to stop the car, almost scary in a panic situation. No pedal modulation.

I would like to return to a 17mm unit but there seems to be no more out there, does anyone have a source? Is someone in the parts supply chain able to reproduce these parts reasonably?

Thanks!

Interesting as I didn't think the difference was very significant when I replaced my ATE 17mm with an ATE 19mm. Is everything else in good order (rear adjustment set correctly, pads/rotors, etc.)?

Even though they are NLA, 914xr75 recently posted that they got a 17mm from Pelican. They don't have any on their site, but you might try calling them.
