Works for me, too.

The other thing is that DOT 5 is very slightly more compressible than DOT
3/4.  To counter-act that, I installed "braided SS" soft brake lines (which
are actually Teflon inside, the SS is just for protection).  The Teflon
balloons less under pressure than the stock soft lines.

Good article on these (and other) issues at
