OK, ROLAND,
Drop the other shoe. What is your conclusion? Silicone or Lucas
replacement for Girling? Since I just replaced my clutch system with new
parts, including silicone, I am wondering if I made a mistake.
I am surprised about leaking of moisture thru the seals. I presume you
mean those betweeen the air and the fluid at the master and slave
cylinders. Don't get much water inside the car (where the master
cylinder seals are), unless it's raining. If moisture laden air (50%
R.H. is normally considered "comfortable', and there isn't really a lot
of water mass at 70-85 deg F. in the air), you're saying air gets passed
those seals too. This would make for "spongy" pedals, and require
consistent bleeeding, regardless of the fluid. I don't think that the
amount of air necessary to contain "tablespoons" of water wouldn't be
immediately noticible as spongy pedal.
Bottom line. Silicone, Hydraulic fluid, or punt to another source?
