- 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

- 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://

- 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
