If done correctly, the silicone doesn't contaminate or attract moisture which rusts out metal components..
If you notice the factory PB (treadlevac booster/MC) are located higher and farther to the outside of the engine compartment than the std manual MC from the factory. One reason for that is to avoid interference with the Power Steering pump (which from the factory was mounted behind the generator). if you have and choose to retain the factory PS (geneator mount), then your should anticipate interference with the typical off the shelf PB/dual MC system. There are solutions to all those issues once we know exactly what you have, and what you desire, but there are significant costs to some of the solutions!
If I understand you want to replace your single master with a dual master with Power Brake (booster?).. Do you have a treadlevac PB on it now (the factory PB system)??
