John,
Regarding the removal of the old brake fluid on a change over to Dot5, I did
this 1 1/2 yrs ago and I still have some residue show up in my brake
reservoir. I completely rebuilt the front calipers, back wheel cylinders,
and master cylinder. I also replaced the front rubber lines. I tried to
flush the lines using Dot5, but obviously did not get it all. On the other
hand, I have not seen any negative effect of the residue and I feel much
better about the benefits of using Dot5.
I use my 74 a lot as a street driver and take long trips with confidence.
