Rob you are certainly entitled to your opinion, that's why this forum is
such a great way to exchange ideas,
But Automotive or aviation they are still braking systems,
The latest finger brakes have a separate reservoir that is vented to
atmosphere, This is the system i am using,
There are no major motor manufacturer or brake supplier (lockheed,
girling.bendix.ATE) that will indorse silicone,
admittingly that's this side of the pond, It may be different your side,
The irony is unless i can reseal either the callipers or master cylinder, I
will end up using silicone,
But LIFE is a COMPROMISE!!!
