Heardy 0 Posted November 3, 2004 I'm just replacing my flexible brake hose's and just about all the steel pipe's and fitting some Goodridge braided brake hose (bought from GSF) ,and i'm just wondering which is the best fluid to use ? I've seen some Castrol perfomance fuid but it's synthetic will that be okay or have you got any other sugestion's :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
