My Favourite Solvent
Tony,
I have had similar 'oil migration' issues on my C15a. I was too cheap to reline the brakes, as there was very little use on the friction material - just a bit greasy. My suggestion is to wipe them many times with a rag doused in acetone. Acetone does not leave any residue, dries very quickly, and is inexpensive and readily availible. As a warning, this is best done out of doors, as the acetone is explosive when vapours are concentrated. Also, I would limit your tobacco use while doing this to a 'pinch between your cheek and gum'. This does not stop cancer, but is less likely to cause a fire than smoking while degreasing. The aggressive solvent literally pulls the oil out of the friction material, and after a while they will be good as new. Stewart
