FYI---I did what Jim did years ago and never a problem.

Not all encounter problems. If the rubber parts were recently renewed 
with modern materials (available since the 1980's/90's) you may be 
lucky. However there are also many who did run into serious problems, 
despite renewed rubber parts, and brakes is an area you do not want to 
mess about with. Safety before anything else is my motto in that 
respect. So if you change to from DOT4 to DOT5 renew all rubber parts as 
a matter of course, regardless.

> when i was in germany i changed to silcone brake fluid without doing all that flushing, blowing lines, etc.  do not remember any problems with it and do not remember having to change out any rubber parts.  in fact, if it was not so expensive i would still be using it (our mechanics threw it away after a certain time, so i had all i wanted.)
