Silicon Brake Fluid

["Wayne Pierzga" <w_pierzga@email.msn.com>]

Hi:

Any words of wisdom on using Silicon Brake Fluid instead of DOT 3 in a
Tiger - besides being more expensive and friendlier to paint. Will the
various rubber parts react in any detrimental way with Silicon Brake Fluid
(DOT 5)? Is the stuff any more or less slippery than DOT 3? Will DOT 5
result in brake cylinders binding or operating more smoothly? Is DOT 5
thinner and hence cylinders more prone to leaks?

Thanks,

Wayne
