Hello all,
just reading about brake caliper problems in the Healey forum got me thinking about brake fluids.
I have used Silicone brake fluid for many years now and would use nothing else. In particular if your vehicle is not used a lot it helps stop brake cylinder corrosion. It does not need changing regularly (How many people actually do change their brake fluid as recommended?) and it doesn't lift paint when spilt (not if, when)
Some people say that it gives a softer pedal but I don't notice it. It is expensive but worth while I feel.
Anyone like to comment?
Alec
