When I did my restoration 9 years ago on my 67 BJ-8  I replaced all my brake=
 lines with SS lines . 2 new rear wheel cylinders . Had the front calipers r=
ebuilt along with my brake booster . Everything on the Hydraulic system eith=
er new or rebuilt.=20
Then I filled it up with silicone brake fluid. Then I moved to Fl. Around 3,=
000 miles later , no problems no sponginess in the brake pedal. Or clutch pe=
dal. I would do it again on another complete rebuild, if that ever happened =F0=

raulic circuit and fit all new rubber components. It may sometimes work with=

 That will get rid of any moisture getting into your system before it can do=
 any harm. It also forces you to check the system when you replace the fluid=
