Thanks Dave,
I should clarify that the main reason I want to switch to DOT5 is to reduce the 
possibility of the next hydraulic leak ruining paint. 
Both master cylinders were purchased from The Roadster Factory so the quality 
was pretty good and both systems were flushed every 2 years. For those that 
will say they havenâ??t had any leaks yet, I would suggest you may not want to 
gloat. (Grin).
