I'm upgrading my 280E's brakes to 2nd Gen W126 brakes, braided hoses, and new copper pipes.
I'm thinking of refilling the system with either DOT 5, or 5.1 brake fluid.
My question is, 1 of these is silicone based, the other isn't, so is silicone based brake fluid safe to use in a non-ABS W123?
Cheers Frank.
HOPE you meant steel tubing, not copper,(too soft,too weak).
i plan on changing all my lines over to copper , they sell it at my brake spot. stuff lasts forever.
have you experienced line flex with copper?
