Not rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol.  Denatured alcohol.  Available in gallon tins
at Home Depot and elsewhere.  I'd also suggest using it before you put in the
new seals, not after.

Cheers.

  I would suggest once you have everything back together that you pump a
  couple of big bottles of rubbing alcohol through the system just to be
sure.

  I used the bleed screws and my Mighty Vac.

  Cleans your hands up too!!

  Hi Folks,
                  Well I have finally decided to go for the Silicon Brake
  Fluid
  and accompanying bits and pieces, namely the brake cylinder kits and m/c
  kits
  for both brake and clutch. The pipes on the car are completely dry so they
  should not need cleaning out, the whole brake system has been cleaned. Oh
  yes I
  have ordered some steel flexi hose too, a complete set of four.
  Is there anything else that I have forgotten?

  Happy Spitting..................John  (In the UK)
