Dave,
I just changed my system to DOT 5. I was advised to rebuild the calipers and
rear brake cylinders and flush the system using denatured alcohol due to
questions about compatibility between DOT3&4 and DOT 5. There are some people
on the Spitfire and/or Triumph list that have changed without rebuilding
everything, but the general consensus seems to be that it is better to change
all the rubber.
Good Luck,
Roger Elliott
