Hi all What's the concensus on the silicon brake fluid? Should I flush out the brakes in the '60 bug and the '72 Ghia and the '77 Westy and replace the fluid with the silicon-based stuff? My pal Vince did this with his '69 Vette (my leg's still sore from pumping his brakes while he bled), and he swears by the stuff. I hadn't considered the Bug a real performance braking machine. It goes well, it stops well. Whaddyallthink? TTFN Jay -- Jay Goldberg IT5 UNIX Support 212.238.2678 \/ axion consulting svcs Credit Suisse Group jay@ska.com \/\/ jay@intac.com
