Not gonna happen. I have almost the identical setup, right down to the big toy master. It just won't push enough juice. You will be able to stop and it will work. But you will never get a hard pedal and normal feeling brakes unless you put a 1 ton master on. Ruffstuff sells one with an adapter. I have one but have so much crap (shock hoops,hydro steering) in the way I decided to live with the softer pedal.
Tom , I am running the 1inch Cruiser MC on my setup and it seems OK
Although I haven't hooked up the Vacuum yet , so I could be in for the same dramas .... Gotta look thru your pics , I have a feeling you have the bigger calipers??
I am not familiar w/ the toy stuff, but a lot of overseas stuff run similar booster/master combo's, from the point of view that dimensionally they interchange as far as mounting points and master/booster bolt togetherness.
A buddies sidekick (yeah I know but keep reading) running 1 ton stuff went to a subaru legacy set up. It is 1 and 1/16 and is a bolt up to zuk. you may want to take a stroll w/ a tape measure around your local pick n pull. FTW on his was a swap to the subi booster and master. Deadly pedal and brakes. I have a 1 1/16 on my exploder on tons. Works when I don't have a nagging rear line problem. Both of these set-ups are running russel proportioning valves. I have disks in the rear and he doesn't. Just a couple things to think about.
You can make an adapter to put a gm style master on your booster, you may want to switch to a larger booster also. I'm not familiar with the hzj75 stock brakes, so I'm not sure what you have now.
Also, what calipers are on your axles? That makes a huge difference also
All this info has been covered many times over the past 10 years on here, (specifically in the Toyota section), search and read, there are some common setups that work well for many people.
Having just went through a 1 ton swap with rear disc coversion, I found the exact problem.
If they worked prior to swap, save money don't replace the booster.
My stock m/c was 1-1/8" bore.
I replaced the stock proportioning valve with an in-line adjustable from jegs.
Sourced a master with a 1-1/4" bore.
Thanks guys, looks like I'll be looking for a larger master cylinder!
