Front Brake Piston Diameter?

Does anyone know the diameter of the brake caliper piston for the stock 10.5" front brakes?

Thanks.

Thanks Ed. Are the C5 calipers 40mm x 2? I'm trying to figure out the hydraulic ratios and how they will change when I swap the brakes for the C5s.

Either 40 or 41, they're the same as 1LE piston diameter so if you use a disc/drum master you'd be fine hydraulically.
