G'day Graham
I wouldn't go past the Penrite product. Plus give their technical help line
a call if you have any questions.
I recently rebuilt the front brakes on my car and bought the Penrite fluid
from my local motor accessory outlet.
I don't have you on my list of Healeys and Austin-Healeys in Australia and
would appreciate if you could send me your details including the chassis and
engine numbers of your car.

Subject: [Healeys] Which Brake / Clutch Fluid In Australia?
Hello,
I have relocated permanently back to Australia after residing in the USA
for several years; I shipped my BJ8 back home with me.
I need to replace the flex hose to the clutch slave cylinder, and wish
to flush and bleed the brake fluid as well. My problem is that I cannot
obtain Castrol GT LMA Brake Fluid here, which I was using in the USA. I
have been advised that Castrol GT LMA Brake Fluid is not available in
Australia.
I am looking for an alternative brake / clutch fluid readily obtainable
in Australia. I have been told by the local auto parts shop retailer
that "Castrol Response Dot 4" and "Castrol Response Super Dot 4" are
acceptable, as is "Penrite Brake Fluid 525 Super Dot 4".
I thought it might be prudent to ask for counsel from Healey owners /
drivers on the matter before making a decision. Any advice would be
greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Graham Wilkie.
BJ8.
