this was my background thought. Taking 10mm off the end would be straight forward and low risk but I think that 25mm will see the push rod go well past the outer edge of the M/C. If we could get some extra adapters made up you could layer up another 2 and then it's just a 15mm cut. it will start to look a bit rubbish though.
The only problem I can see with moving over to a Ford M/C (apart from the fact we're not sure which one to go for) is that although new cylinders are available on ebay, I've not found a single reservior. This is fine for those with remotes but no good if you want to go the traditional route. I think if we can nail down the correct Ford M/C then as you say, it's more than worth the extra £40 to do the job properly.

Suitable new master cylinders are available for £30-40: is it really worth the effort, and risk?
