[Healeys] Dot 5 Silicone break fluid

[Michael J Maloney]

John;
Help! My brake and clutch systems were dry.This morning I put Dot 5 in my
reservoir and bled the clutch so that i could drive for front end alignment
where he told me that the Dot 5 would rot all seals and rubber it came in
contact with. He suggested flushing with break clean and flushing with Dot
4,and strongly suggested new cylinder kits.
The Dot 5 did not get past the break M/C.
Any help will be much appreciated.
