We all know what DOT3 brake fluid does to the live rubber seals originally used in BMC cars. While I'm still a good while from needing brakes, I'm wondering if the new rebuild kits and after-market wheel and master cylinders still use live rubber (not likely, methinks.) And if they use the synthetic stuff like American cars, is brake fluid still even an issue? I know Gastrol Girling Crimson is extinct, and I seem to remember reading that the silicone fluid is an acceptable replacement. I just don't want to ruin the new parts I have yet to buy. TIA
