Hi Randall,
Where wer you when I got flamed to death on this very subject a couple or
so years ago? I seemed to be the only person on the list at that time who
argued that seals were intended to swell to a small degree in brake fluid. I
ended up believing that I'd dreamed it as I couldn't find any documentary
evidence at that time.
Cheers,
Bill.
