Amici, I know this is likely to be a very big can of worms, but, I?m looking to find out if the Motul 600 brake fluid plays nice with our Girling brake components. I used Motul years ago in my Honda

Works fine with my setup. Expensive though. I don?t think we generate the kind of temperatures that demand something like Motul. I could be wrong, but the Castrol stuff seems to work fine for Peyote.

I used motul for years until I had a 5 minute stop during an enduro and my brakes boiled from the heat. I now use Castrol SRF "gold" which has a higher boiling point, but my GT6 really heats up the f

I have had good luck with Valvoline synthetic from the Zone. But to get a good vintage feel in a certain white TR3, I gotta recommend Silicone! Henry Morrison Sent from Outlook<http://aka.ms/weboutlo

Way back when, the hot ticket for racing was Ford DOT 3. It qualified as DOT 3 due to its low wet boiling point, but it?s dry boiling point was better than most DOT fluids of the day. No problem sinc

by "good vintage feel" do you mean a soft pedal? I went from DOT4 regular to DOT 5 synthetic and always felt like the brakes needed bleeding. went back to DOT 4 ATE Gold type 200 26A GT6+, 28 TR6Bria

Silicone has a place in my non-race TR's. ?They don't get driven all that much and I can go years and years without hydraulic rebuilds given the non hydroscopic attributes of silicone. ?The Spitfire

Thanks for all the input folks, much appreciated. As to silicone? I have used it in my street TR3 for the past 37 years with no issues at all. I?d never use it in a competition car though. Terry Stet

The trick to avoid the bubbles is pour it down a rod. Think high school chemistry class stirring rods. jim On Sat, Jun 24, 2017 at 4:49 AM, Phil Ethier via Fot <fot at autox.team.net> wrote: -- next

Or avoid the stuff like the plague and change your fluid fairly frequently. On race cars it seems you wind up bleeding brakes a lot, so it?s pretty automatic, but street cars might be worth it. Might
