Default Re: Model A project question

Hydraulic brakes are the way to go, for safety. If you use silicone fluid, DOT 5, they will not absorb moisture, so never cause a problem. They are easier to adjust, have more contact area, were designed for heavier cars, etc. I have been using them since 1959, had some problems early-on because regular fluid attracts moisture, and the cylinders will rust and bind.
