 Most people with big, fast cars use AP550 or 650 and swear by it. They bleed 
 every day or every session. But.... I still swear by silicone in my race 
cars.
 
 With silicone, once you get the air out you don't bleed until you sense a 
 problem. We get nice hard pedals with real nice feel. If you don't get that 
 then don't blame the fluid. >>


Evening Gents,   So the stories I've heard ever since I started vintage 
racing (all of 4 yrs.)  about silicone brake fluid having a low  boiling 
point & not recommended for racing is bunk? Interesting.     Kev Lynch
