[Healeys] Brake Fluid Who Knew?

[James Shope]

bob, since generally the water in the brake fluid would settle out at the 
lowest points in the system, i.e., the brake cylinders or calipers, would 
the strips do a good enough job of testing.   even in las vegas where we do 
not have a moisture problem, i still change out fluids every two to three 
years.   healeymanjim
