Brake fluid destroys the plastic quickly.

I've had a bad vibration sound coming out of the fairing due to something being loose, so I removed it today to find it. When I removed the left air scoop the front lower nut just spun. When I took the other two bolts out and removed the scoop, I found that when my clutch master had leaked a few weeks ago, some fluid I'd missed had ran down and sat in that corner behind the scoop. to my disappointment,  It just completely dissolved the plastic in that area ( That really sucks) Any how I found the vibration was due to one loose and one missing m8 bolt on both sides of the head light. My lesson today was 1) be sure to double check all bolts and 2) if you have a brake fluid leak be sure to remove everything it got on and clean it well.

Wow, thanks for the update... [sarcastic]... The DOT 3 or 4 fluid is harsh on ABS (The plastic that covers our FJ's), I have 2 lower fairings (AKA chin scoops). Both are shot on the Left side where the clutch slave leaks.. Maybe I can make new ones when I win the lottery....
