Z1000 master cylinder + silicon brake fluid ?

[mike_p]

Does anyone know where I can get a stainless bolt for the side of the master cylinder on a z1000 ? Not really sure what its there for really unless its a spare port for something.
Also has anyone on here used DOT 5 Silicon brake fluid without problems ? As I'm rebuilding all the brakes and replacing all lines/seals etc I'm wondering if this is a good idea....no paint damage, doesn't absorb water etc etc

if you mean this adjuster bolt ? i have not seen anyone advertising them for sail in stainless. as for using silicone b/ fluid that's all i ever use

No it's not that one.....cheers though....I should have said it's the rear master cylinder......not the front. It's on the outside of the rear master cylinder, pretty much in the middle ?

Yeah that's the one....cheers Gus.....anyone know of a stainless version ?

[mike_p]

Nobody know of any source for this bolt....item 6 on drawing ? If not I may just have to get one made up in stainless

Phil Denton engineering should be able to make you one. Have bought a few stainless parts off them in the past.

Never seen one for sale. Could buy a complete rear master cylinder off ebay ?

Cheers Adrian....I think getting one made is looking like the only option

I was told by DaveMarsden when I was refurbishing my rear master cylinder what ever I did, do not lose that nut, I would struggle to get another, could be an investment opprtunity there
