[Healeys] bleeding brakes and clutch

Generally speaking my experience is that the clutch system should not need
bleeding except on very rare occasion, whereas the brakes get bled
regularly.  Therefore, my view is you want to have the cleanest possible
fluid in the clutch system because it will be in there for a long time.
 So, being a bit nit picky on this, I'd do the brakes first then when you
refill the tank, you will have new clean fluid on top to flow through the
clutch system.
