Brake caliper rebuild question.
I'm rebuilding the stock ft calipers in my '69. What's a good lubricant to
use on the seals that's compatible with brake fluid or should I just use brake fluid itself? It's not a good lubricant. -- Mark -- "I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates who once said, "I drank what?". " Val Kilmer in Real Genius. |

gel? -- Mark -- "I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates who once said, "I drank what?". " Val Kilmer in Real Genius.
