When I was considering it for Chris' TR6, a well-known TRiumph<br>expert (Head Mechanic for the Canadian Triumph Team back in the day and a<br>lengthy career in servicing and repairing TRs) suggested NOT doing the<br>clutch system as he thought it would benefit from the increased lubrication<br>of the DOT fluid over the Silicone fluid.

Turned out that everything<br>needs rebuilt or replaced. When I am done I should be good for another 45<br>years before having another problem. But I do have a couple of additional<br>questions.<br><br>1. I am making the conversion to silicone brake fluid. Are there any<br>reasons why I shouldn't also change the clutch system to silicone?<br>2. I ordered from the Roadster Factory new wires (140606( for the securing<br>the rubber boots on the axle shafts. What I received are long wires (about<br>18" with a loop on each end.
