Default Brake master cyl mating question. HELP ME!!

As some of you may know, or might remember from the last time I posted about my F-ed up brakes... I have a 92vx with an integra brake swap f/r, teg 15/16" MC and Booster. I ran into this problem when I swapped on the MC and booster where the brakes would start dragging a little when I drive, then drag harder, and harder to the point where the wheels would practically lock.

I am *assuming* that the problem is with the brake booster (used), since the MC is new, and theres nothing wrong with the brakes themselves. I have my old vx booster and MC sitting out on the patio (they worked fine before I removed them), so I *could* just put the old 13/16" MC and civic booster back on, just to make the car drivable... But I really don't want to go with the mushy, unsettling 13/16"MC with my 4 disk setup.

So, I guess my question is, can I use my stock civic vx (disk/drum) brake booster with the 15/16" MC? When I eyeballed them, it didn't look like the MC went deep enough into the booster for there to be good thread engagement on the bolts, but its hard to say.

Please help me ASAP!!!


BTW, i'm white_n_slow, for those of you confused by the new name...
