[Roadsters] braking issue

I have several vintage vehicles, and I run dot 5 in all of them.  one of 
them gets autocrossed occasionally and never a problem.

trick is to use a long funnel into the master and carefully drip the fluid 
down into it.

Hi:
For what it is worth I tried to convert to DOT 5 on my 68 and never could
get all of the air out of the front calipers. Back to DOT 3 and after  a
gravity bleed washing out all of the DOT 5 the breaks were restored to
normal.  Perhaps had I persisted with bleeding before switching back DOT 5
would have worked---but
