1. Brake Fluids (score: 1): Author: Editorgary@aol.com; Date: Wed, 9 Jun 2004 12:21:41 EDT; There is more to this story than was covered in that article. Noting that the writer builds brake systems for race cars his perspective may be a little narrow. Talk to the curator of any major car mu; /html/fot/2004-06/msg00089.html (9,055 bytes)
2. RE: Brake Fluids (score: 1): Author: "Joe Curry" <spitlist@cox.net>; Date: Wed, 9 Jun 2004 09:56:40 -0700; I have seen several people indicate that DOT5 is not good for racing or autocross. Maybe I am naove, but I have had it in Tiny Tim (The autocross Spit) ever since I built it in 2000. I have not seen; /html/fot/2004-06/msg00090.html (9,915 bytes)
3. Re: Brake Fluids (score: 1): Author: Herald948@aol.com; Date: Wed, 9 Jun 2004 13:14:10 EDT; I readily admit two things: 1. I've heard pretty much all the arguments about each type of fluid many times; and 2. Despite the paint-removal risks, I've always stayed with good old Castrol GT/LMA.

4. RE: Brake Fluids (score: 1): Author: Bill Babcock <BillB@bnj.com>; Date: Wed, 9 Jun 2004 10:22:09 -0700; There's nothing wrong with it, it just isn't best for racing. I had it in my NASCAR TR3, and five or six laps into a race my brakes would get a bit spongy. Still there, but less precise. I swapped to; /html/fot/2004-06/msg00092.html (10,591 bytes)
5. RE: Brake Fluids (score: 1): Author: "Joe Curry" <spitlist@cox.net>; Date: Wed, 9 Jun 2004 10:42:55 -0700; That is pretty well what I was thinking. Since autocross runs are typically less than a minute in duration followed by a cool down period, that would account for why I have not noticed any adverse br; /html/fot/2004-06/msg00093.html (8,635 bytes)

Just about everytime I change brake pads/shoes, I do some bleeding. I typically bleed more than necessary and may actually be changing the fluid. Like I sa; /html/fot/2004-06/msg00095.html (9,177 bytes)
8. RE: Brake Fluids (score: 1): Author: "Randall Young" <Ryoung@navcomtech.com>; Date: Wed, 9 Jun 2004 11:18:38 -0700; I've never changed mine, just to be changing it. Of course, it hasn't all been in my TR3A for over 15 years, I've had the system open several times to replace hoses & seals. But I've still not seen; /html/fot/2004-06/msg00096.html (7,870 bytes)
9. RE: Brake Fluids (score: 1): Author: Bill Babcock <BillB@bnj.com>; Date: Wed, 9 Jun 2004 12:21:52 -0700; I'm a little nutty when it comes to brakes--I think they are the very best way to go fast. I want them to be powerful and progressive, and work pretty much the same way every time. Complete confidenc; /html/fot/2004-06/msg00097.html (9,287 bytes)

If any bits had been natural rubber you would have had black gum where the parts used to be. I've never changed mine, just to; /html/fot/2004-06/msg00098.html (8,329 bytes)

RE: Brake Fluids (score: 1): Author: "Randall Young" <ryoung@navcomtech.com>; Date: Wed, 9 Jun 2004 13:33:46 -0700; Actually, I originally switched to silicone because I was using natural rubber (only thing available at the time as far as I knew) and American-made DOT 4 was eating them.
