Would one of our Scions in Uniform check the motor pool and see what they use
for Brake fluid these days? The military did the definitive test on silicone
brake fluid (DOT5) some years back and the test was used as a basis of an
article in Skinned Knucles. This is the best article so far on its use.
I've used silicone in my MGs since '89 with minor problems and no, make that
Zero, paint removal which is the best reason in my opinion for using it.
Lots of club members also use it here with no problems either.
MOWOG the thread that would not die runs a close second to silicone brake
fluid! :-)
