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
