Discussion, Please
This will probably start a new "thread from hell"....
In response to a revent inquiry about silicone brake fluid, Brett D.
ocmmented that it is "imncompatible" with even small amounts of
standard brake fluid.
This concerns me, as I have just finished draining the brake
system and honing the brake cylinders on my long-dormant 1958 Fiat
1200 Roadster. I planned to use silicone brake fluid on re-assembly
just to avoid condensation and oxidation during subsequent short
storage periods.
However, I had not heard this comment before. I am certain there are
traces of brake fluid in the system. I'm not sure how I would
eliminate them, unless I did something creative like pouring a quart
of denatured alcohol thru the system - which I am perfectly willing
to do.
I welcome thoughts and (anatomically and logistically feasible)
suggestions....
