: Hi all,
:
: I also started rebuilding the brake
: system this weekend. I'm switching to
: DOT 5 silicon fluid so I'll never have
: to see all that wrinkling paint around
: my master cylinders again. Use of DOT
: 5 requires flushing the original fluid
: out - it's not compatible with any
: other DOTs.
:
: After the system was completely
: disassembled I flushed each length of
: brake line with spray brake cleaner.
:
: For those of you familiar with DOT 5:
:
: - Is this sufficient enough of a flush?
: - What happens when DOT 5
: "does" encounter some other
: DOT fluid in your system?
:
: Got plenty of time to mull this over.
: Won't be able to get to the project
: until sometime next year.
:
: Ciao! - Jim
