[Healeys] Brake fluids

[Dave Russell]

Hi John,

All modern brake fluids are synthetic.  Do you mean Glycol based vs 
Silicone fluid.  If you mean Silicone - there are many different 
opinions. These two types are not compatible. Some feel that flushing is 
all that is necessary, others, complete rubber replacement.
