Much less hassle and a better chance of success. You've already replaced the Bugeye stuff with later components so you don't have to worry about originality.</div><div><br></div><div>That said, I would also use regular brake fluid. I've never cared for the silicone stuff. And I've heard that some of the currently available new master cylinders come with a proviso in their warranty stating that the warranty is void if silicone fluid is used.</div><div><br></div><div>Rick<br><br>Sent from my keyboard</div><div><br>On Apr 17, 2016, at 4:19 PM, Bob Kitterer via Spridgets <<a href="mailto:spridgets@autox.team.net">spridgets@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div>OK, I am at my wits end tiring to get the hydraulics to work.
