I don't think I have a tool or gauge that even goes up to 1200 degrees.
That said, I'm
wayyyy more likely to be staring at a new puddle under my FE and I will tell you that having your brake fluid colored blue is a real time saver. Especially if you happen to have those cool looking Girling reservoirs from the old Austin Healeys. Yes, they look great, and they tend to leak, and the leak tends to track far away before deciding to drop and form a puddle.
Phantom drips from a frame rail are just a Cobra thing, I believe. Amber brake fluid tends to look like fresh
oil or grease (but I use Brad Penn, which is green), and I hate tasting my puddles, which is what I usually end up doing. Yes, I think the blue brake fluid does taste a little better than the gold, but it doesn't taste as sweet as my conventional green
antifreeze, but it is better than Brad Penn, which really doesn't have as much of a taste as you might think it would.
