Brake fluids.
My comments to Lynn in post 12.
I grew up with the old brake fluid that was made from caster oil and metholated sprit, we used metho to wash up brake cylanders . then we got mew high temp fluids that had a higher boiling point but were water soluble, we used water to wash them up. I restored a truck many years ago and used silicone fluid I think it was Ok. Recently I bought a hydraulic stop light switch (13480) Marathon and in the packet it had a note NOT TO USE THE SWITCH WITH SILICON FLUID !!! I an currently restoring a Ford truck (11T ) and will not be using silicon fluid in it.
