I have been using DOT5 from the TRF in my 63 TR4 ever since its
rebuild over 12 years ago. No problems what so ever. Also using
DOT5 on my 72 TR6. But still using DOT4 on my 58 3. All have
original components, just rebuilt with new seals. Sans the brake
light switch on the 3 and 4. All I remember is blowing them out
with alcohol before refit.<br>

recently discovered that the
brake lights are not working on
my '62 TR4 and have traced it to
the pressure switch. The switch
has 1/8 x 27 NPTF pipe threads.
Does anyone know if a thread
sealant is required and if so
what would be the appropriate
one to use?<br clear="none">
