39 ford brakes

Changing breaks over to silicone with all new parts. Has anybody had
experience with Drake's new deluxe $295. brake kit?
Is one quart of fluid more than enough to do the job?

When you ask a question like this it would be nice if you would include a link to what you are talking about. Go to the Drake site, highlight the address, copy it (CNTL C on a PC and COMMAND C on a MAC). Use CNTL V (for a PC) or COMMAND V (on a MAC) to paste the link into your post.

I am too computer ignorant to cut and paste.
The deluxe brake kit is on page 62 of the latest V8 Times in
Grant's 2 page color ad. It is a complete brake rebuilding kit for
1939-42 cars with all new parts [ shoes, cylinders, hoses etc] for $295.00.
I would rather have new parts if they are good ones, than rebuilding
the existing parts.
Wondered if anyone has experience with this set.

One quart should be enough. Flush lines of old fluid.

If they are chinese parts I would tread with caution. My old USA wheel cyls with new rubbers worked way better than brand new chinese ones.

I would recommend using some alcohol to flush the system before filling it with the silicone brake fluid (dot 5).
