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).
Copper brake pipe has been used in brake lines for decades without any problems at all, thats why they sell it. Cunifer is still better though although it is harder to flare but still easy enough.
