I just replaced my brake master cylinder (Girling) and the braided lines attached to it. I've been using Valvoline DOT 3/4 fluid and it's worked out OK but at one track (Thompson), I'm always over heating the fluid. I used to use Wilwood 570 in my F440 car and thought I'd give it a try in the Spitfire since it has a higher boiling point than the Valvoline.<br>
<br>
My concern, probably from leaking seals in the past, was the difference between US Spec DOT 3 (Wilwood) and English DOT 3 fluids. The DOT 4 seems to be compatible, but at with lower boiling temperature than the specialty fluid.<br>
<br>
Has any one used the Wilwood with Triumph OEM grade brake parts?<br>
<br>
thanks<br>
