I think it does stem from warnings by Tilton and possibly other cylinder manufactures. I think it may be in Tiltons literature. But - I’m not convinced it’s a real issue.
DOT 5 has been fine for many years in my 66 Corvette - which incidentally also takes a great amount of leg effort to motivate the brakes. Old time GM Engineers on the Corvette Forum told us - that’s how we designed them way back then. |
