Tim,
You should be able to get it through the large specialist classic
parts chain stores (Moss etc.), but many of the smaller factors stopped
selling it after the initial "fashion item" phase. I see it regularly at
Classic Car Shows (Automec brand?)Silicone fluid arguably introduces as many
problems as it cures (discussed on the Triumph list in some detail over the
last year). I made the decision not to use it anymore - purely a personal
decision. Similarly, I stick to conventional hoses, though CuNiFer pipes
have been a godsend.
Good luck with the search,
Bill.
