Bob,
I use it in all 11 of my Triumphs. Only problems I ever had was related to
heavy use during hard driving. Once in the TR8 while running laps on Nelsons
Ledges Road course I pretty much lost the brakes. Scary when the pedal hits the
floor! The only other time was on a VTR rally in the Oregon Mountains with the
81 TR7. The brakes faded big time on the way down a steep, winding road.
That time I almost customized the rear of a Spitfire but I was able to get her
stopped just in the nick of time. I have been told that silicone has a
tendency
to boil under heavy use conditions. Anyone know if there is any truth to
that?
Cheers,
Darrell
