I have a quick question regarding DOT5 Brake fluid. I bought a TR6 that the
previous owner said that they had rebuilt all the master cylinders and had
used "Silicone Brake Fluid" after the rebuilds. The brake master cyl needs
fluid. I went out & purchased some DOT 5 (Gunk). That fluid is "purple" so I
went out and bought another brand (NAPA) and that is also purple!!...... The
fluid in the master cyl is "Clear".
My question is, are all "Silicone" fluids purple? Can I mix the "purple" & the
"clear" ?

Thanks for your help.
