I am redoing the brakes on my 1967 MGB vintage race car.  I have been
advised that it would be a good idea to flush my brake fluid.

I will be changing the type of fluid I am using, the old fluid is an
"unknown" and probably a mixture of many fluids.  The new fluid is AP 550.
While it is not necessary to flush the system it has been recommended to me
that I do.

Since the cost of the new replacement fluid is so great, is there a way to
flush the system without wasting the new fluid?  Or do I just keep moving
fluid through the system until I believe most of the old fluid has been
replaced by the new fluid?

Thanks in advance.
