[Healeys] Silicone DOT5 brakefluid for the 100

[Josef.Eckert at t-systems.com]

Thomas,
I use Silicone DOT5 brake fluid in my 100 (as in any of my other classic cars)
for about 10 years. When filled in first I realised a problem with the master
cylinder. I had to change the seals in it with new ones, and problem solved.
Since I can only recommend to use DOT5. Its the best I have ever done as
brakes are concerned. No mess with leaking and paint eating brake fluid
anymore.

Some years ago there was a discussion whether to use DOT 5 brake fluid in the
100 or not. As far as I understand you should make some modifications to the
brake master cylinder when using DOT 5 fluid. Can anybody tell me precisely
what these modifications were?.



Thanks
