I have just bled out all of the old DOT 3 brake fluid out of my 
TR3A and replaced it with DOT 5. I did this to both protect my 
newly-painted engine bay, and because I understand that 
DOT 5 fluid won't absorb water.

Do I need to change all the seals in the brake system, or will
I be OK with just changing the fluid?
