Thanks Phil,
This vehicle will not be used in the extreme elements. It is well looked after by its owners!
In Britain, we resleeve cylinders with stainless steel, I have noted before that in the US, brass is used. There should not be the possibility of leakage between the sleeve if machined and fitted correctly, especially if a product such as Loctite Bearing Fit is used as a precautionary measure. If silicone can seep then ordinary brake fluid could as that is slightly thinner viscosity than silicone.
