[ke70dave]

really???

i have always run dot 4 in brake and clutch, how are the seals different?

[Matt-AE86]

Just got to have faith in what he says I guess..

[Andy San]

is it dot 4 or 5.1 i can never remember... either way i use brembo stuff in the brakes and you can't use it in the clutch or it dies.


now i think about it, it is probably 5.1 you can't use

[biggo]

DOT5.1 is silicon based. I wouldnt bother really. THeres a big list somewhere i can write up but meh.

or failing all that you can just swap the bleed nipple and feed hose over. thats what i did on mine, worked a treat..

[ke70dave]

hmm id never thought of that.

just gota be careful as the bleed nipple is supposed to be at the top of the cylinder to bleed properly. but i guess if you reverse bleed it it should work fine

or bleed it off the car or something...

[Golberg]

All Toyota brake and clutch systems are designed to use DOT 3 brake fluid.

Use anything else and you will run the risk of your hydraulics failing you at an inconvenient time.

Perhaps give the cap on your master cylinder a read, chances are you've never bothered before.

Meh ive used dot4 in most old toyotas. ONLY if they dont have ABS. Apparently it too harsh for the soleniod seals or something.

Forgot to say that the banjo fittings on old hilux masters thread straight on to the rubber lines. Makes life heaps easier. I used them on my 71 on the calipers.

I can supply a clutch line if you need it, goes under and fits great

ohhhhhhhh that is mad shit sam! i might grab a braided line and banjo thing from you wen i replace my clutch (in a few weeks time ) will keep in touch

btw you've got them in stock yes?
