I used denatured alcohol (about 1 Gal.) but if you
change to DOT5 the rubber seals in the calipers,MC
and rear wheel cylinders ALL have to changed out as
a rebuild. The fluid dissolves them. Check out Jeff
McNeal site for an excellent description of the
process

Hi Folks,
I went out and bought some DOT 5 fluif last night
in feverish anticipation of
actually going somewhere in the Spit (now that the
engine's back in) and I'm
wondering what the preferred choice of liquid is
for flushing the lines? ISTR
that it's very important to clear out all the DOT
4. I appreciate your
response to an old question as I lost my bookmark
for the archives.
TIA,
Tom Burke
