[Spridgets] Bad braking

[WeslakeMonza1330 at aol.com]

In the UK silicone/DOT 5 has rarely been used in racing cars and then not  
for long.  Any moisture is retained in the fluid as a free liquid which can  
turn to steam.

But,  thirty years ago, when I was a "real racer" (SCCA E-prod. MGB),
silicone  was pretty widely used in racing brake systems.  No problem with  
a
"spongy" pedal, ever........provided that the air was fully bled out of  the
system.   I understand that silicone fluid tends to retain  air bubbles
longer than glycol-based fluid.  It's all in how you  handle the stuff,  I
suppose.
