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?
