Finally got hold of the Dot5 silicone brake fluid, thanks everyone who
ofered advice!
now for filling the system...
Just a few questions..
The brake pipes are all new, as are the rear slaves and front caliper
seals, however both masters where given new seals not long ago so I was
hoping to just clean them with ethanol (alcohol) and then just add the
silicone..
Is this a good idea, or is there still a risk of contamination?
Will the ethanol eat the seals?
thanks again for any help
Cheers
Tim
