I have seen directions for using Search but cannot find them again. Could someone direct me to these directions please. For example I am looking to find out the proper brake fluid for my 41 stock Chev. I think it should be dot 3. Thank you. John

Thanks but no luck with the brake fluid. I have asked on the 1941 forum.

Here in Aus Dot3,Dot4 and Dot5 are the only brake fluid still available, Dot3 and Dot4 will mix but Dot5 (not commonly available) will not mix with the others. Using a mineral based fluid will affect the brake rubbers and render the whole system non functional though methylated spirits is a good cleaning fluid and water the next best for cleaning.
