 Moss and TRF sell a handy sticker indicating that the car is converted to DOT5.  Others have them, too, I suppose.  I recommend one of these just to keep everyone in the loop.

Thanks. I'll stick with the new black bottle for my current stag. But for Stag no. 2 which needs brakes seals all round I'll go for DOT 5

 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.
