Hello,

I have my master cylinder in place and all my brakes lines run. I can
"bench" bleed the master cylinder and proportioning valve seperate from the
lines. Before I do any of that I wanted to ask which brake fluid people here
prefer.

I have only ever used the Dot 3/4 fluid in my other old truck and Austin
Healey. Since I have a virgin system I thought I would ask before I buy.

I know dot 5 won't eat paint the way dot 3/4 does, but I don't remember all
of the redeeming values of Dot 5. There must be negatives as well.

Thanks in advance for any comments.
