        Get a new rebuild kit, and redo it. The seals _WILL FAIL_. DOT 3 fluid
        eats the natural rubber parts away.

Why are we still using "natual rubber" seals then?  Is there some reason
that a rebuild kit couldn't contain DOT3/4 compatable seals?

Another thing, If i wanted to test this effect, can I drop a rubber
part in a cup of DOT3 fluid and watch it dissolve?  Would I have to
wait weeks to see anything?
