    brake fluid for bbk setup

    The brake fluid in my AP front/rear BBK needs changing but I'm not sure which one I need. There seems to be quite a few different fluids out there and I'm not mechanically minded enough to choose between them (I was going to order online and go to my local indy to get the work done).

    Seeing as many of you run BBKs on here, I figured this would be the best place to ask. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

      If your require Brake Fluid with such
      high temps then something is wrong.

      Save yourself some money ATE Blue
      not quite to SRF but for Road and Track
      use, more than capable, plus some.

                Yeah sorry, since purchasing my CSL in March I have had to increase the insurance value to £33k, so £30k was rounding down :wink:.

                        Have had to? Someone forced you? £33k for a CSL is mental unless it has sub 10k miles on it.

                        Nothing wrong with using SRF though, don't think anyone has ever got out of a car and stated the brake fluid was too good or over specified.

                          In my own opinion, my car is every bit as good as Marks (which is up for £35k) and given how the values have risen, I felt it prudent to insure it for what I consider to be a realistic market value to replace like for like.

                            I suggest you take that up with MarkCSL then £35,000 for a 57,000 miler :wink:
