[6pack] TR6 Brakes Update (Keith Stewart

[im sloane]

Hi Y'all,

Just my .02 and no more. The reason I've never switched to silicone is that I've owned since 86 and my front calipers have never been rebuilt and could be original. I wouldn't want to risk it. Same with my booster. And although my clutch master & slave are new, I don't want to have to keep up with two different bottles in the trunk.  the Castrol DOT4 works just fine and I drive it hard in the mountains of NC. "If it ain't broke...."


Happy Thanksgiving to you guys!


Sloane :)

I changed my clutch system to DOT 5 years ago and it hasn't crossed my mind, since. There's no reason that I can think of not to do it. And...you'll be glad you did when the master leaks and does NOT destroy all that nice paint on your firewall.

1. I am making the conversion to silicone brake fluid.  Are there any
reasons why I shouldn't also change the clutch system to silicone?
2. I ordered from the Roadster Factory new wires (140606( for the securing
the rubber boots on the axle shafts.  What I received are long wires (about
18" with a loop on each end. Can anyone tell me how these are supposed to be
installed?

Thanks for the help.
