Use aircraft fluid in auto brakes?

Post by Dave Clark »

Well I'm just visitng an old friend here in Tortola and the question came up on using aircraft 5606 fluid in a car system. Specifically in some of the older Jags where the caliper material seems to be more prone to corrosion. Any thoughts on this?

Also I've often thought how neat it would be to be able to legally sleeve the calipers like the car guys do. Oh well, back to the Rum and Cokes.
