My RV8a project is ready for wheels, and I keep thinking about the brake
system and lines. Seem to me like some weight could be saved by going with
3/16 brake lines, (smaller line and less fluid). Problem with small lines
is the heavy viscosity of A/C hydraulic oil, especially when cold.
Solution would be automotive Dot 3 or Dot 4, but are there compatability
issues with the Matco master cylinders and Cleveland calipers? Maybe new
o-rings could solve the problem? Anyone know the answer?

I have been using quality ATF in my RV10 for 7 years now with no problems.
Flash point is about half way between the old 5606 hydraulic fluid and the new stuff, but significantly cheaper and easier to get.
