It seems he is talking about brake master cylinder.
If that is the case,15/16" is correct and I don't think there are part crossover in NA cars.
You may get a used one or new one from Mitsubishi ( over $400 I guess ).
Of course some manufacturers in China supply them at cheap price.

Yes I mean the brake. (isn't the slave cylinder the clutch?)

Most hydraulic systems have some form, or variation, of a master cylinder and slave cylinder. The master cylinder controls the slave cylinder (as implied in their names) usually to achieve either power or increase in range of motion.

It's the 6inch or so long metal thing below the brake fluid reservoir that is mounted to the break booster.

It is where the mechanical movement from your foot is turned to hydraulic power
