Your correct Bill, I try but I can't always cover all the
bases, think I post way to much explanation and detail most
of the time anyway in an effort give a complete statement.
Should have just simply left off the comment about the
silicone fluid and said, "Unless I were going road racing
with my AD, I also don't see the need for disc brakes."
The main advantage of disc brakes on a passenger car is low
maintenance and ease of replacement when the time comes.
On the silicone brake fluid I would post this which I quote:
"Compressibility of silicone fluid is very unstable
throughout the temperature range encountered in normal usage.
As the temperature increases, the pedal travel necessary to
compress the fluid changes, resulting in unpredictable pedal
height."
This being one of the reasons that I don't need it in my
vintage truck. I might add that my truck is well over due
for a DOT3 oil change. Polyglycol fluids down side is that
they are quite hygroscopic and can even suck up moisture in
a closed system over time so a change every few years is a
good idea.
