Thanks everybody for your opinions on Dot-5. I figured since I'm rebuilding all the cylinders and replacing all the lines I'd never have a better opportunity to switch so I'm going ahead with it. Anyway, here's my question: The brake fluid reservoir in my '63 has an angled outlet port rather than one that comes straight down out of the bottom. The reason for this is that the windshield washer reservoir sits directly under the Brake fluid reservoir and it wouldn't clear it otherwise. For some reason the outlet port is really tiny as compared to later ones. I found that when I installed a dual circuit Master cylinder that no fluid was reaching the MC. The reason turned out to be the tiny outlet port. I switched to a later fluid reservoir and everything was good. Now I don't want that reservoir on the trunk wall so I've drilled out the tiny angled port on the old reservoir (it has a 113 part# on it so don't worry!) so that the brake pipe will fit in there. The plastic wall that remains around the pipe is very thin but I think it will hold up all right. What should I use to cement the pipe in place? Silicon sealant seems logical but I'm looking for suggestions. Thanks!
