Listers, FWIW,
When I rebuilt the braking system in my '63 Fury with all new components
(the Titanic has less rust than it did) I took a chance and used silicone.
Never a leak or problem since. Note the Fury has a Mechanical switch,
however. From all that I've heard here and on the mopar list, I wouldn't
dare use silicone unless the switch was a mechanical one.
