Hi Folks.
Decided to check front brakes on the cb that I restored a long time ago as they were not up to my standard.
Stripped calipers and found piston rubbers a little hard and pads worn.
Condition inside calipers were very clean so a quick clean new seals and lube up good to go.
I have been running DOT 5.0 brake fluid all these yrs and all the other rebuilds with no problems, I do recommend it |

I've been using DOT5 for many years on all of my restorations. I've never had an issue and would never go back to DOT3 or DOT4. |

Do you start with all new seals, rubber parts and lines? Or in an old(er) system, what do you flush the system with?
