Default Beware of silicone in sleeved cylinders

If you are having the cylinders sleeved check with the company doing the sleeving. Whitepost Restorations the company I used recommended against the silicone because it would leak between the sleeve and the cylinder. I’ve been using heavy duty brake fluid in mine with out problems for a good many years.

The bigger brake problem seems to be with lack of use. When I used to put my HUP up on blocks for the winter, in a friends barn, I was all ways having problems with the brakes leaking or weeping. Since I’ve been garaging them here at home and driving them in and out of the shop every couple of weeks not problems.

For health brakes the doctor recommends regular exercise. Have you driven your CMP this week?
