SR/KA Slave Cylinder Alternatives

I was recently researching slave cylinder bore sizes to lighten the feel of my clutch. I ordered the Nismo unit since it was the largest I could find. But after ordering it I got the idea to search for slave cylinders outside of Nissan. I ended up going through 29 pages of Autozone's slave cylinder options. I found a few that may be a viable solution to the Nismo. They all have a similar bolt hole design as the sr/ka so if it's not an exact fit then it should be easily modifiable. The cylinder bores for all 3 are gigantic though, 25.4 mm (1 inch) for all 3. For reference, stock is 19.05, and the Nismo is 20.54 mm.

63' - 74' International Metro
60's Dodge D100 - D300 and W100 - W300
62' Chevy C10 (and other vehicles)

I would've tried one of these myself but I already had the Nismo unit, I just thought I'd pass this info along for those interested.

UPDATE*

I just installed the Nismo slave cylinder and the difference is night and day compared to stock. I have a heavy duty pressure plate and my pedal effort honestly feels like a stock clutch SR. So those slave cylinders I posted are likely too big.

Another option is to buy a slave cylinder rebuild kit for a 3sgte, it comes with all the guts for 20 bucks. The bore on that is 20.574, pretty much the exact size of the Nismo. Just have a machine shop bore your old slave cyl accordingly. I drove my car for 6 years with the stiff pedal, trust me this mod is worth it, and you can use an old slave cylinder to do it.

'top secret' sell an extended SR clutch fork that also makes the pedal lighter. I run this and a nismo slave on an exedy 3 puk and its light as a feather.
