FWIW - I had my Z/28 calipers resleeved maybe 15 years ago, by Vette Brakes, and have used DOT5 in that car ever since with no problems.

I have had two pairs of '67 Chevelle 4 piston calipers done by them, both had leaks on the driver's side. The first was resolved with the first return. the second was returned three times, each time the leak was a different place.
The routine was, I call Muskegon, send them the leaker, a couple weeks later Lonestar ships directly back to me.

A problem with these Chevelle 4 piston calipers is lip seals, no O-ring seals are available (2 1/16" IIRC) whereas Corvettes use O-ring seals. Do not use DOT 5 fluid!

Just my experience, I have three NOS HURST/AIRHEART kits is you are interested. - Bill W
