Just as an FYI, all of the rebuilt brake parts I've purchased from Apple come
with a printed warning not to use silicone/synthetic fluid with their
components or it will void their warranty. Obviously, there are people using
silicone with Apple rebuilt components anyway, but I doubt Apple will honor the
warranty if they find you put synthetic in it. I just completed my brake
system overhaul and ended up going with DOT 4 non-synthetic for that reason (as
well as the way I plan to use the car). I would assume Apple has some reason
to caution people not to use synthetics in their master cylinders based on
their experience. But it could be just a CYA thing.

Bob,
What is failing? What type of fluid are you using? ..... .....You should
be using the new silicon fluid or the old standby castorl which I prefer....

Hi listers,
Yesterday I had a complete overnight failure of my master
cylinder.
