- I've never seen brake fluid overheat in the clutch circuit. The brakes generate a helluva lot of heat that can get passed directly into the brake fluid. But the clutch linkage just doesn't get that h

- Silicone should only be used on completely new brake systems from the getgo. I wouldn't use it with older parts as the rubber softeners and swell agents are different. Mike /// /// datsun-roadsters@
