(108.180.28.87)		Had to share this:

There's a guy on ebay selling US/gal for $50.00

That's $ .39 cents/oz.

Kicks the crap out of most of the other prices I've been seeing.

(108.180.28.87)		Guess they don't want you using silicone cause they'll 'last forever' and they won't get nearly as much re-build business.

Far as I can figure.

(209.237.87.183)		You may be right but #520 had dot 3 for 41 years and I did have to replace the wheel cylinders and my master cylinder now has a stainless core. Not cheap, but it's tough to find the right replacement. Finding a repair kit with residual pressure check valves will not get you to a master cylinder you need. The kit is a "fits all", with or without the check valves.
Th wheel cylinders were made in China. Seven out of eight were usable!
