Mike, I've heard all the stories about silicone brake fluid, and I've got
to say that, for my TR3, I love the stuff. It doesn't asorb moisture,
doesn't eat paint, and is very easy to work with. It also won't attack
rubber fittings. I've only had it in the car for a little less than a
year, but no problems as yet. I drive my car about like yours. I wonder
if anyone on the list has any experience with that new brake fluid that is
supposed to have the features of silicone, but even better??
