John,
This may have come up before, I've only done a partial archive search, but
I've seen opinions from various corners that the rubber in the seals in the
British car hydraulics wasn't formulated to handle silicone based fluids. Is
this valid or myth? I'd originally planned on using the silicone fluid when
I reassemble my spitter, then decided not to after seeing those, now I'm not
sure. What's your take on the subject? I'd rather not risk a new paint job,
on the other hand- I don't want to be tearing down my hydraulics right after
a rebuild!
Thanks!
Jon

One way round the problem is to use silicon brake fluid, just use any spills
as polish.

Subject: { NASS } Brake Master Cylinder
Guys (and gals),
Has anyone out there discovered any tricks while bench bleeding a brake
master cylinder? This weekend I hope to put on a new one and was hoping to
avoid getting brake fluid everywhere and/or messing up a freshly painted
support bracket.
Thanks in advance,
John
