Brake Preservative?
« on: December 27, 2013, 11:02:49 AM »
I'll be rebuilding a couple of brake master cylinders for my Colleda 250TAs. It may be a while before I need to instal them so I was wondering if I need to use a preservative to prevent any corrosion and. if so, what should I use.

If you can find it locally    Raybestos Brake Assembly Lube    BAF-12   or similar type product.

Thanks jerry h. So I'm looking for 'Brake Assembly Lubricant'. I can't find a Raybestos supplier locally. I came across a product by Permatex who have have an outlet close by so I'll check them out.

Fill the reservoir with fluid, pump some thru the MC, refill reservoir, and store. The damage to MCs come when they "dry" up with dirty old fluid.
