[TR] Converting from DOT3 to DOT5 hydraulic fluid in my TR4A

[Dave Connitt]

Thanks Dave,
I should clarify that the main reason I want to switch to DOT5 is to reduce the possibility of the next hydraulic leak ruining paint. 
Both master cylinders were purchased from The Roadster Factory so the quality was pretty good and both systems were flushed every 2 years. For those that will say they haven’t had any leaks yet, I would suggest you may not want to gloat. (Grin).
