Re: [alfa] Silicone Brake fluid

[Bernie Bennett <bennetts77833@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A clean system, with new seals and hoses and flushed with denatured 
alcohol (don't dry with a shop air hose lots of moisture collects in 
those systems).  If you put it together dry, and not contaminated with 
any old fluid. . . you should not have a problem. Problem is rebuilding 
the whole system. I am not running DOT 5.
