I work with a guy that had a TR4a years ago (He is still kicking
himself for selling it). Right after he bought it he topped up the
hydraulics with DOT 3. Soon after he had to have all the hydraulic
seals replaced. He now uses Castrol LMA in is BMW Motorcycles. He uses
Silicone in his MGTD (VW) Kit car only because the PO had put it in.
