>>> DOT 5 is the incompatible silicone fluid=E2=80=A6
I have used DOT 5 all the years I have had my BGT running from 2000 =
=E2=80=93 2023.=20
It is incompatible with lower DOT values, but if the system is flushed =
well before filling with DOT 5(.1), it works well.

That looks like the one I installed, and it=E2=80=99s fine. Although I =
use DOT 4 Castrol LMA fluid, exclusively.
=20
(DOT 4 has a higher boiling point than DOT 3, but is otherwise =
compatible. DOT 5 is the incompatible silicone fluid).

Hello everyone,
=20
I'm about to replace the clutch hydraulics on my 1974 MGB. I did this =
one other time a few years ago and used a master cylinder from a company =
in Knoxville, TN. One problem I had with it was that it was hard to get =
its cap off without first removing the cap on the brake master cylinder. =
The new cylinder from Moss appears that it won't have that issue. It's =
this one under 180-697: =
https://mossmotors.com/180-697-clutch-master-cylinder-replacement-3-4-bor=
e
=20
The problem is that there's no label on the cylinder stating whether or =
not it's DOT 3 compliant. The brake master I installed =
(https://mossmotors.com/180-767-brake-master-cylinder-aftermarket) =
<https://mossmotors.com/180-767-brake-master-cylinder-aftermarket> is an =
aftermarket replacement from Moss, and it's labeled as DOT 3 compliant. =
I'm under the impression that most parts sold in the US are supposed to =
be that way, and have also been told that these new cylinders use a =
synthetic rubber that the old original cylinders didn't have, so the =
fluid is less mission critical and shouldn't cause the rubber parts to =
deteriorate.
=20
There's nothing on the Moss website saying one way or the other. Any =
thoughts?
=20
Thank you,
