[TR] Brake fluid for Triumph

[DAVID MASSEY]

 I agree but would also add that in regards to the braking system, this is no place to cut corners.  Waiting for a flatbed is the best case scenario.  Also, inspect your hard lines while you are at it.  I had one fail on the TR3 just sitting in the garage.  It now sports stainless steel lines thought-out.  As does the TR6.

So I'd have to say that "best practice" is probably to replace the seals at
the same time.

 I recognize a case of shipwright's disease when I see it, but since I have more than one car and am not greatly inconvenienced when one is partially disassembled on stands in the garage; yet I am greatly inconvenienced when the one I am driving is lying inert in the tall grass on the side of the road, I tend to go in and completely repair a system when a part of it needs attention.  If I'm going to replace the wheel cylinders, I'll replace/upgrade the hoses, and consider the calipers and master as well.  If I'm changing one radiator hose, I'll go ahead and replace all the radiator and heater hoses, and do a complete flush with the radiator out.  Et cetera.  Saves a lot of sitting and waiting for the flatbed.
