Folks, PLEASE understand that I do NOT advocate such a long interval between
brake fluid changes, regardless of your preference. ;-) But (and I hope this is
obvious, given the nature of the car's use) on the increasingly rare occasions
when I get the car out to use, I do make sure brakes -- and everything else --
function as they should.
BTW, it was about the middle of RR's FIRST term (1983), although I had to add a
little bit of fluid when I upgraded the brake master cylinder to a GT6 unit
(didn't have to bleed the system, though)!
