I'll take a guess... The low level is made on the assumption that your
brakes will be partially or totally worn. When you put new shoes in, there
needs to be enough room for the fluid to rise without leaking out.

Subject: [Mgs] brake fluid level question
The TD handbook says to fill brake master cylinder to a level 1/2 inch
elow bottom threads of the filler neck. That leaves a large volume of air
bove the fluid, far more than would seem to be needed for expansion.
otally T-Type 2 (Issue 10, February 2012) has an article by a TF owner who
igged a separate overflow bottle to his MC, connected at the back end with
anjo fitting, so he can check level and fill from under bonnet, instead of
hrough the hole after removing the rubber plug under the carpet. Would this
ot fill the MC completely?
Why would MG have specified such a seemingly low level? Does it matter?
