best time to convert to silicone brake fluid is when you are replacing the major
brake system components, especially the master cylinder and calipers.
Installing our Super Brake Kit is a great example. With the Super Brake Kit, you
will replace all four calipers, rubber hoses, and the master cylinder, removing
all brake fluid from the system and allowing for an easy conversion.</DIV>

pouring silicone brake fluid, do so slowly. DOT5 fluid has the ability to
become aerated easily, which means that when handled quickly it can develop
small bubbles. Pouring slowly to minimize splashing is best. Similarly, it
has been suggested that if you uncap a bottle of DOT5 the day before you plan to
work on the vehicle, it will allow any trapped air bubbles to rise to the top
and dissipate.</DIV>

the amount of air bubbles in the system.</DIV>

<DIV id=yiv5169001218yui_3_16_0_1_1433943627347_24485>Second: I have a few bad
spots of rust that need panels fabricated and welded. The worse is under the
master cylinder and rust has</DIV>
<DIV id=yiv5169001218yui_3_16_0_1_1433943627347_24448>eaten through the inner
and outer wheel arch. It affects the pedal box too.</DIV>
<DIV>(I can send a picture if anyone is interested)</DIV>
<DIV id=yiv5169001218yui_3_16_0_1_1433943627347_24483> </DIV>
<DIV>So the guy was really wanting the body removed, sand blasted, panels
repaired and powder coated.</DIV>
<DIV id=yiv5169001218yui_3_16_0_1_1433943627347_24486>Sounds awesome. But it all
gets down to time and money. a LOT of money and the rest of the year.</DIV>
<DIV id=yiv5169001218yui_3_16_0_1_1433943627347_24487>Roughly, looking at
$10-20K. for a TR6. yikes. Not sure I love the car that much. I know repairing
old cars will ALWAYS cost more than a car is worth.</DIV>
<DIV id=yiv5169001218yui_3_16_0_1_1433943627347_24489>I know that. Don't lecture
about that. But...<SPAN id=yiv5169001218yui_3_16_0_1_1433943627347_24488
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">my rust is not a 'rust bucket' by any means. And for
$20K I can </SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">find a car</SPAN><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> that </SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">comes close
to showroom condition!!!</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I guess I am so depressed / disappointed / overwhelmed / sad / hmmmm….what
else…</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV id=yiv5169001218yui_3_16_0_1_1433943627347_24452>…I am at a loss as to what
to do. One option: Say screw it and live with the rotten areas, put the car back
to gather and drive it.</DIV>
<DIV id=yiv5169001218yui_3_16_0_1_1433943627347_24482><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">or:</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV>Sell the dang thing and walk away. Maybe I finally reached that
"mercy…mercy…no more…make it stop" stage.</DIV>
<DIV>- I doubt I could bring myself to buy a TR6 again….I mean, what's the
point. Mine isn't THAT awful and <SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">I know the
history of THIS car.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV id=yiv5169001218yui_3_16_0_1_1433943627347_24455><SPAN

<DIV id=yiv5169001218yui_3_16_0_1_1433943627347_24454>
<DIV id=yiv5169001218yui_3_16_0_1_1433943627347_24453>Or:</DIV>
<DIV>another option….(my original desire/thought) is to have the areas repaired
and new floor boards installed by someone that does a really good welding job
</DIV>
<DIV>but not nearly as intense of a procedure <FONT size=3>or expensive. I
know</FONT>…<FONT size=3>you get what you pay for. </FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3><BR clear=none></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>This winter: I removed everything from the engine to detail it out and
everything is ready to go back in once the rust was fixed and engine bay
painted.</DIV>
<DIV>At this point, I may as well sell off all the PARTS - they'd be worth more
they the car as a whole at this point. And everything is removed!</DIV>
<DIV>(only half kidding….)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Oh, one more thing….</DIV>
<DIV id=yiv5169001218yui_3_16_0_1_1433943627347_24481>this guy is DEAD set
against my thought of switching to Silicone brake fluid. I mean, DEAD set
against and talking about warranty being voided if I use it.</DIV>
<DIV>I looked at him and said: "What Warranty is that?" "It isn't like there is
a dealership I can go to" "I buy parts, I put them on." I am the warranty
department!</DIV>
<DIV>He mentioned the warranty of the parts I buy from Moss, etc. hmmmm….They
void it if the silicone falls the parts.</DIV>
<DIV>Really? Moss SELLS Silicone brake fluid. </DIV>
<DIV>I suspect all this is because his DAD is against Silicone and he just
follows what his dad hates. </DIV>

<DIV id=yiv5169001218yui_3_16_0_1_1433943627347_24457>I was recently curious why
<FONT id=yiv5169001218yui_3_16_0_1_1433943627347_24456 size=3>auto stores don't
seem to carry DOT 5 Silicone as much as the other types. So now with this
restoration guy's comments</FONT>…<FONT
id=yiv5169001218yui_3_16_0_1_1433943627347_24458 size=3>is Silicone THAT
bad/poorly rated?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV id=yiv5169001218yui_3_16_0_1_1433943627347_24459> </DIV>
<DIV id=yiv5169001218yui_3_16_0_1_1433943627347_24477>Well, any advice or words
