Seeing as how brakes are such a critically important matter and all, I thought
some folks might be interested in a reprise of something I originally posted to
this List in February 2001 when the subject of DOT 3 vs. DOT 5 brake fluids last
came up. The second link below might be of particular interest since it's a
word-for-word transcription of two items on the matter from a well-respected
source, _Auto Restorer_ magazine.

There's lots there from an earlier discussion on the subject of DOT3 vs.
DOT5, including a transcript of an article from _Auto Restorer_ (October
1999 [ v 11, n 10]. p. 6 and 23-25) at
