Last summer I installed the brakes on my 65. Put on new
wheel cylinders, hoses, brake lines etc and used silicone
brake fluid in the system. The car is still work in progress
so it hasn't moved since I installed the brakes. I was just
under it and noticed both front tires are wet at the bottom
and there is a drip at the bottom of the backing plate.
It seems to be coming from inside the drum, probably the
wheel cylinders. I did a little research online and have read
that some rubber brake parts are not compatable with silicone brake fluild.
Looks like I'm going to have to redo the brake job and possibly
switch to standard brake fluid.
Any one else have this happen to them?
If so what did you do?
