Greetings:
I've been researching the feasibility of changing to
DOT 3 brake fluid. I have a Standard Elite RG w/ the
regular (not XT) Matco brakes. Our master cylinders
say to use DOT 3 brake fluid. The Matco website
identifies the piston seals on the brakes themselves
as 2-214 size Buna-N seals. I can get the same size
seals in EPDM, which I understand is compatible with
DOT 3. It seems that all that remains as an issue is
the nylaflow tubing.
Questions:
1. Is our nylaflow tubing compatible with DOT 3?
2. Am I missing other potential issues?
3. Has anyone done this? What were your experiences?
Thanks for any input.
