[TR] Brake Fluid

[dave]

Several cars we were rebuilding the hydraulics but still had to flush the
lines.  One car just pumped it through.  Really helps to have speed bleeders

Makes it very easy.  

There are a number of people who will claim it destroys seals, etc.  no.

Could you please give me your views on the use of Castrol Synthetic DOT 4
brake fluid in a '62 TR4. Is it the appropriate DOT 4 fluid to use now...or
is there something better? I had previously been using Lockheed DOT 4  in my
TR4 as it had been readily available at a local shop until recently. Back in
the day I used Castrol Girling in the '59 TR3A and '67 TR4A I had at that
time. Also, if anyone has any information on any requirements or issues in
converting to DOT 5 silicone I would appreciate them.  

Thanks
John Finlayson
