Moss and TRF sell a handy sticker indicating that the car is converted =

just to keep everyone in the loop.

Thanks. I'll stick with the new black bottle for my current stag. But =
for Stag no. 2 which needs brakes seals all round I'll go for DOT 5

So I'd have to say that "best practice" is probably to replace the seals =

 I recognize a case of shipwright's disease when I see it, but since I =
