Hi Bob,
Everyone else must be out driving their cars. Or out in the garage working o=
n them. :-)
I would not bother trying to rebuild the master cylinders. Replace them wit=
h new components. Much less hassle and a better chance of success. You've a=
lready replaced the Bugeye stuff with later components so you don't have to w=
orry about originality.
That said, I would also use regular brake fluid. I've never cared for the s=
ilicone stuff. And I've heard that some of the currently available new mast=
er cylinders come with a proviso in their warranty stating that the warranty=
is void if silicone fluid is used.
