James,
If you need anyone to test them out before you try them, send them over I'll take the burden off you..LOL ""

they're kpd mk2's, i had the 3's....use dot 5 silicon fluid, it's pricey stuff compared to dot 3 and 4 but is inert...doesn't eat paint or anything else.

They're made in the UK so spares are easy for you and Keith is a great guy to deal with if you need any advice.

Mineral oil (green) is what should be used normally.
