It will work, however you may not get as firm of a feel since the silicone based fluids have a tendency to be spongy feeling. I am surprised that your powder coated parts were damaged that easy. Perhaps it was on a area that was not prepped properly. Who knows though, brake fluid is tough on anything. =================================================== Paul Sayegh V-Max Technical List Administrator VMOA Northwest Director V-Max web page http://www.sayegh.org/tips.htm =================================================== .............................................
