I thought I had a few bottles left but I was wrong and have her on stands patiently waiting for her fluid. Yesterday I took her out for the first time and needed a little more fluid before heading out. I only drove 8 blocks and while sitting at a light the peddle went to the floor. I quickly pumped the brake and it was fine to get home. I put her on stands in the driveway getting ready to bleed as I suspected an air bubble but no store carries Castrol GT LMA Dot 3 any more. Suggestions please. One of the members on a Facebook Spridget group said to flush and add Castrol DOT4 which is synthetic, he said I wouldn't need to replace the wheel cylinders or the master cylinder I I did that but I am by myself and use a stick to hold the peddle using a tube into fluid to prevent air, I have a one handed blender but I couldn't get it to work properly. Maybe I should look at a youtube.</div><div><br></div><div>What would Frank say?</div><div>Linda</div><div>62 California Sprite "Pinky"</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail-m_7169202506280453037gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:small">"Pay if forward" in honor of Frank Clarici III, Spritenut</span><br></div></div></div></div>
