[Healeys] another fluid question

[Oudesluys]

I do not think brake fluid is suitable. Brake fluid is designed for 
automotive to withstand high temperatures and other specific 
characteristics and is hygroscopic. I seem to remember ATF as a suitable 
alternative, but I am not sure. Hydraulic fluid should be easy to find 
though. There are plenty of firms operating heavy lifting machines: 
cranes, jacks, trucks with moveable load area, lifts etc. I suppose 
google will show up something.
