Default Been using silicon fluid.....

When I rebuilt my C15a brake system I got new wheel cylinders and the master cyl. was sleeved in SS. All lines are new SS and rubber flex. Going on 4 years .... no leak no problems.

Each Spring after sitting for months in the sea container it only needs one pump of the peddle to bring it up again.

I may actually flush and reset the system this year for the first time.

I use the surplus USA military purple brake fluid.

***** on the flaring of new brake lines may I suggest you buy the best flaring tool you can afford it will save you time, material and a lot of aggravation.

Cheers
PS.... have you heard of the guy addicted to brake fluid...? claims he can stop any time !!!!!
