Hi all
    Question on Brake Fluid. I am rebuilding the brake and clutch system
on my 74. In the 1978 Haynes Spitfire Workshop manual it's written ,
Quote:

"top the reservoir with Castrol Girling Amber Brake Fluid, or a fluid
which conforms to specification SAE 70 R3. It is vital that no other
type of brake fluid is used. Use of a non-standardfluid will result in
brake failure caused by the perishing of the special seals in the master
and brake cylinders."

Since I've been out of touch for years up until recently, I'm a little
concerned and lacking knowledge on this subject.

THnx
Pat
