Stan;

Several listers DID write back, but none were as specific as your posting just 
now. Thanks! I just bought three 12 oz. bottles of DOT 5. The VIP store by me 
had to order it for me. Seems like DOT 5 use isn't all that common (not sure 
why -- the expense?).I'm also planning on installing Speedbleeder screws on a 
four corners.  Anyway, thanks, Stan. I'll keep the third bottle in the trunk 
along with the tool kit.
