Hi,

I won't get into the debate on fluid... it's been done in the past, check 
the archives.

But I will offer the following: I've rebuilt a few M/C's and prety much 
everything hydraulic on my cars, and in the recent past I've had some odd 
seal failures. On further review, it appears that the seals seem to get 
damaged during installation. The worst one was the caliper seal on the 
race car (threshhold braking with ONE front caliper is exciting, to say 
the least). At any rate, the last 5 or 6 rebuilds were done with the 
proper red girling assembly grease and everything has held up beyond my 
expectations.

So, if you can find the stuff, I highly recommend using the red Girling 
assembly grease when putting hydralics back together.

regards,
rml
