[Healeys] Silicone DOT5 brakefluid for the 100

[Tom Felts]

???????   Why is this true for the 100 and not other versions?  What is different about the rubber components in the 100?  I put DOT 5 in my BJ8 and E-Type years ago and did nothing beforehand with the components.  Not a leak or brake problem since.

Replace all rubber parts. Effectively rebuilt all your wheel cilinders, 
callipers, master brake cilinder using new seals and renew/replace the 
rubber brake hoses, preferrably with Teflon SS braiding items from eg 
Goodridge.
