Brake Fluid, Bolts, Clips and Shims. Brake fluid - ATE Super Blue (1-liter)
BF-11
Wet boiling point of 400°F (204°C)
Dry boiling point of 536°F (280°C)
ATE Super Blue Racing Brake Fluid is a developed DOT 4 premium non-synthetic brake fluid with a wet boiling point of 400°F (204°C) and a dry boiling point of 536°F (280°C) a full 20 degrees higher than regular DOT 5 synthetic. The high wet boiling point temperature prevents formation of vapor bubbles resulting from retardation of the drop in the wet boiling point. The ATE "Super Blue" allows up to 3 years of safe operation before changing. Sold in 1-liter cans. *Note: Cannot be shipped by Air.* Features * Minimal decrease of boiling point due to excellent water locking properties * Non-foaming when filling and bleeding the brake system * Excellent corrosion protection due to selected additives * High safety tolerance against steam bubbles * Excellent for driver's school days, racing or all kinds of performance driving
Brake fluid - Motul RBF 600 (1/2-liter)
BF-21
Wet boiling point of 420°F (215°C)
Dry boiling point of 593°F (311°C)
Motul® RBF 600 has a very high dry boiling point of 593°F (311°C) and a wet boiling point of 420°F (215°C). 100% synthetic fluid for hydraulic-actuated brake and clutch systems. Specifically designed to resist the high temperatures of actuated (steel or carbon) racing brakes and clutch systems. RBF 600 Super Hi-Temp racing brake fluid was developed for high heat and the extreme pressure demands of professional racing. RBF 600 has a low viscosity blended with unmatched performance in the most extreme conditions for minimal hydroscopic effect and very low compressibility. Motul® RBF 600 will give solid pedal feel, great response, super high heat protection and maximum life. Sold per bottle. We recommend 2 bottles when changing your complete system. Sold in 1/2-liter bottle. *Note: Cannot be shipped by Air.*
Brake shims
Note: These brake shims are designed primarily for anti-squeaking but can also shield the heat. They are made of high strength spring steel coated with high temperature rubber.
It’s normal for the caliper piston to seat (penetrate) into the steel plate and dislocating the rubber coating (stuck to pistons) especially under extreme heat application. As long as the rubber coating is not in contact with the caliper and remains in place the shims will function as it’s intended for abating the brake noise.
You may need to clean the rubber around the piston area and reinstall the shims.
Due to the temperature limit these shims are mainly for street driving and may not be suitable for track applications.
