They were sufficiently posh that Armstrong seemed working class, perhaps they were looking for University Challenge and got lost?

It's a hydraulic system and in theory needs to not have debris in the fluid BECAUSE BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN; fluid velocity in a brake system is zero and ptfe tape is as flimsy as cheap bogroll, so any hypothetical blockage is pretty unlikely. It can cause problems in powered hydraulics, clogging filters and sensors and preventing non-return valves from closing.

No reason for it to be frowned on as long as it's just on the thread and not on the end, it's the point that does the sealing; I have used a smear of grease or hylomar in the past. I like the idea of them but I'm concerned it might be a disappointment due to the extra weight; shame as there's no reason a properly designed GRP shell should weigh more than the standard body. A modern copy that wasn't an overweight lump of lard might be something that could find buyers. When I win the lottery I'll make one and it can sit alongside a copy of that wooden thing built by Friend Wood.
