MG MGA - More interesting brake stuff

Last year I switched over to silicone brake fluid. One thing I noticed is that as the brake pedal firms up considerably as the brakes warm up.

Any thoughts?

BTW, its not pumping up its actually as they warm.

How do you get the brake fluid warm up?

Friction.

I'm guessing that two things happen, one the engine bay gets hot and therefore raise the tempurature of the fluid.

second I'm guessing that the heat generated by braking transfers to the piston and therefore the fluid.
