The aero-quip braided brake lines on my 914-6 are 26 years old. It also still has the original master cylinder. I must tell you that I've been using Silicone brake fluid for the entire 26 years. I guess this kind of proves the value of using silicone fluid.
By the way, I plan on changing the brake lines soon and will be using the stock rubber lines instead of the braided lines. I'm also going to change out the master cylinder. Only because of their age. However I will continue to use silicone fluid. |
