Hi guys :D
I'm finaly going to try to fix my Bagheera's Clutch Cylinders. The Days are longer now and the weather is a little better. I hate working on my cars when it's dark & wet :(
I have a new Clutch Cylinder (at the Pedal) & a new Slave Cylinder (on the Gearbox). All I need to get now is the Fluid. What type Fluid should I use?
Dot 3???
Dot 4???

Other type???

D.O.T 3-D.O.T 4-D.O.T 5.1 more common. They are miscible between them and compatible with all the synthetic rubbers of the modern circuits of brake. They are classified according to several criteria of boiling point ( the indication D.O.T). (Attention with D.O.T 5.1 and former(ancient) automobile which can be equipped with natural rubber!) it is not the case of Bagheera and D.O.T 3 D.O.T 4 can be used
