So I'm getting around the point to install the brake components that are missing and to put a fluid in that does not discolour as much as regular DOT3 or 4, in hopes that it won't yellow the new plastic reservoirs mainly. Has anyone had issues with early 240Z brake components utilizing DOT5 brake fluid? I like the fact that DOT5 won't peel paint it it spills or drips, it has a higher boiling point (a bonus, really), and it won't absorb water like DOT4 would, so it would generally last longer and stay clearer (though it also won't let paint adhere if I get it on anything that is un-coated, which may be a problem if I am... careless) My main concern is having to flush the system if it starts to weep due to incompatibility. Any issues with the stock 240Z stuff on this matter?
