For the silicone paste you use, do you think brand makes much of a difference as long as it’s high temperature? I use Sil-Glyde, which was recommended on a forum a a while ago. Also, would using the same grease on the contact points work in the same way as the anti-sieze?
For what it’s worth, I always replace the hardware when it comes with the brakes. I can’t remember buying brakes that didn’t include it.
Thanks and good video.
