[Tigers] Castrol brake fluid

[Gary Winblad]

Shop manual Section P.
I'm "only" 62 but had my Tiger and first brake fluid problem in 1971.
My Tiger was my college car..  well, its still MY car  ;-)
Other cars and wives come and go but still have THAT Tiger..

That's cool Gary. I'm 65, had my Tiger since 1976 and never heard of 
"Amber"

It 
  sounds like most have forgotten that GT LMA was the new fangled stuff
that 
  we had to use when the original correct  Castrol "Amber" fluid was gone.. 
  
If this old codger remembers 
  correctly...

  text/plain;  charset=US-ASCII    Jim,    Some 
  of the online pictures might be  old.  The new Castrol 
  Brake Fluid DOT   4  has a higher boiling point 
  than  the old Castrol GT LMA, and I think they  wanted to 
  differentiate it from the  old stuff, so they changed the 
  name.  I  ordered the new stuff, and,  although 
  not in the title, the description on  the back of the 
  container  states it is Low Moisture 
  Absorption.  So,  basically the same, just 
  a  higher 
  boiling  point.    Kirk  B382000503  _______________________________________________    tigers at autox.team.net    Donate:
