Silicon brake fluids are intended for show cars and garage queens. It is a bad idea if you plan to do any performance driving!!!

You could use silicone brake fluid.
You should rebuild both master and slave cylinders and flush the line well to get the old normal fluid out.
Yes, it is a little more compressible than the glycol-based normal fluid but it should work.
I used silicone brake fluid for the brakes and clutch when I restored my TR6 and am glad I did- those masters sit right above a
large exposed painted area that would have been ruined if I hadn't.

With all this talk of clutch master and slave cylinders-----
I was wonderingA A Could jack oil or ATF be used instead of brake
fluid ?
Its a bad day when the slave leaks and eats up the paint !!
