Re: [DML] epoxy damage from brake fluid



Just thought I'd let ya'll know how I resolved the epoxy damage on my car:
My old master cylinder developed a massive leak. I thought the puddle on
the floor was radiator fluid, but it turned out to be brake fluid. I took
the fuel tank cover off and had brake fluid drip out everywhere. Since I
cleaned it up soon after the leak started, the brake fluid wasn't in contact
with the epoxy for very long to damage it. Most of the damge was to the
horizontal bottom sides of the frame and to the fuel tank cover. The
vertical surfaces of the frame around the fuel tank didn't get any
remarkable damage because the fluid didn't puddle there. Most of the
repairs I did to the epoxy were from cracks. I flaked off what I could and
then painted it with rubberized undercoat. It looks nasty, but it should
slow the rust down until I can replace the frame with a SS one. :)
