Default Silicone Brake Fluid

Hello Everyone,

There seems to be many debates on this topic. As some people are aware of my vehicles. Not only do I have a CMP, I also collect and restore antique cars. I overhauled the brake system on my 1958 Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner in 1986 and used Silicone Brake Fluid. I am in Regina, Sask where the weather only allows me to drive my car 6 months of the year. So far, I have put 75,000 miles on the car and have not had any problems of any sort. The key to using Silicone Brake fluid is that the system has to be free of any old brake fluid. If you are reusing any brake lines they need to be flushed out. If you are re-using cylinders or parts of, then these parts have to be cleaned as well including the cups.

I trust that this information will be helpful in answering questions about storage and reliability.

Regards,
Dale
