<VV> silicone brake fluid

[J R Read_HML]

Silicone is JF.  Just be sure you have EVERY spec of the DOT3 out of the 
entire system first.  Some say to flush with alcohol.  I don't know.  I've 
put in Silicone after replacing a whole bunch of parts first - lines, MC, 
Wheel Cs (or rebuilds).

Later, JR
