[6pack] brake fuild

[Steve Kirsis]

I switched over to DOT 5 almost 5 years ago on my '70 TR-6 after cleaning up 
the mess from DOT 3. I did replace the clutch master and blew out all the 
lines for the brakes plus I replaced the brake cylinders as it is almost 
impossible to purge all the old fluid from this area. I am in the process of 
doing the same with my '75 as I have had no problems at all with the DOT 5 
and enjoy the peace of mind. I will also replace the brake master this time 
as well as the wheel cylinders. Just make sure you clear all the lines with 
a low pressure. Dot 5 is a pretty purple. Replacing the wheel cylinders is 
the tough part. Study up on it or if you know someone who has done it ask 
them to show you. There are some tricks which make the job a lot easier and 
smoother. You will like it. Steve Kirsis, '70 Damson, 75 Pimento.
