| I use the Wilwood fluid in my TR3.  It works fine and I haven?t found any leaks 
or deterioration of any rubber seals in the wheel or master cyls. In over 8 
years.

I just replaced my brake master cylinder (Girling) and the braided lines

but at one track (Thompson), I'm always over heating the fluid. I used to use 
Wilwood 570 in my F440 car and thought I'd give it a try in the Spitfire since 
it has a higher boiling point than the Valvoline. 
My concern, probably from leaking seals in the past, was the difference between 
US Spec DOT 3 (Wilwood) and English DOT 3 fluids. The DOT 4 seems to be 
compatible, but at with lower boiling temperature than the specialty fluid.
Has any one used the Wilwood with Triumph OEM grade brake parts? 
thanks
