Thanks to everyone who replied. I converted both of my toy cars (the TR & the 911) to DOT-5 several years ago, but forgot to write the type down!!! Duh... John http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/t

That would be DOT 5 Silicone. Unfortunately, it's rather difficult to find in stores, and typically rather expensive when you do. (Note that "synthetic" and "DOT 5.1" are NOT the same thing.) But TR

On the subject of brake fluid can anyone tell me what sort of cleaner I can use, I had a brake line leak and I now have a portion under my driver's side fender that has had the paint peeled off. I wo

BTDT. Took me awhile to realize WTF ... apparently cleaning the MC area with an air hose had put tiny droplets of silicone into the air, which were still hanging around in my garage the next day. Af

PPG DX330 (aka Acryli-Clean) is one. There are others, maybe better, but I've only tried the DX330. -- Randall _______________________________________________ Triumphs@autox.team.net Donate: http://

Saw a friend checking the oil on his TR3 -- before he wiped the oil off the dipstick he touched the end of it to each of the throttle links leaving a drop of oil each time. Thought that was an intere

I suppose a crafty person could get at it w/o removing it from the bracket but I think the removal is simple enough that it isn't worth the effort to try to do it in situ. In case you're not aware, t

Silicone brake fluid does develop air bubbles when agitated. An hour or so sitting quietly on the shelf takes care of the problem. I use it in all of my toys, four and two wheeled. It is expensive in

Oh, one more tip. I always reconnect the hard lines to the master cylinder before I tighten the bolts that hold the MC to the bracket. Sometimes you need some wiggle room to get those hard line conne

Seeing as you've done TR6 brakes before, I assume you've got both the front & rear reservoirs of the M/C filled. After that make sure you've bled all the air out of the system or you'll have a soft

Hi Al, I recently had to bleed the brakes on my '6 following a ruptured brake line (don't ask, but let's just say that 12 volts creates quite an arc when earthed through a brake line!). I also experi
