The BN2 is at the point where it is time to fill and bleed the new brake
system. Now comes the time to decide whether to go with DOT 3/4 brake
fluid or try silicone. Any recommendations, advice or warnings on this
decision?

DOT4. If you want to try silicon you would have to rebuild your entire hydr=
aulic circuit and fit all new rubber components. It may sometimes work with=
out a rebuild or it may fail as DOT4 and DOT5 (silicon) are not compatible =
and do not mix.
What your life (and others) worth??

Sorry, did not read the question properly.
In a new system you have the choice obviously.
I would go for DOT4, which absorbs water, and change that every two years. =
That will get rid of any moisture getting into your system before it can do=
any harm. It also forces you to check the system when you replace the flui=
d. It is cheap and available anywhere.
The problem with silicon brake fluid is that it does not absorb water. Wate=
r will always enter the system because of condensation in the brake fluid r=
eservoir. This moisture can than settle in the lower parts of the system an=
d cause havoc unnoticed until it leaks.

In this instance I agree with Kees.
The decision comes down to personal preference IMHO.

I would like to say a few words on behalf of silicone brake fluid.It is non=

A newly rebuilt and scrupulously clean brake system filled with silicone fl=

Michael--
Both have pluses and minuses--I simply feel that DOT 3/4 has more of the
former and fewer of the latter than does silicone, but that's just me.

<br>
Sorry, did not read the question properly.<br>
<br>
In a new system you have the choice obviously.<br>
<br>
I would go for DOT4, which absorbs water, and change that every two years. =
That will get rid of any moisture getting into your system before it can do=
any harm. It also forces you to check the system when you replace the flui=
d. It is cheap and available anywhere.<br>
<br>
The problem with silicon brake fluid is that it does not absorb water. Wate=
r will always enter the system because of condensation in the brake fluid r=
eservoir. This moisture can than settle in the lower parts of the system an=
d cause havoc unnoticed until it
leaks.<br>

In this instance I agree with Kees.<br>
The decision comes down to personal preference IMHO.<br>
