I use the Wilwood fluid in my TR3. It works fine and I haven’t found any leaks or deterioration of any rubber seals in the wheel or master cyls. In over 8 years.

I just replaced my brake master cylinder (Girling) and the braided lines attached to it. I've been using Valvoline DOT 3/4 fluid and it's worked out OK but at one track (Thompson), I'm always over heating the fluid. I used to use Wilwood 570 in my F440 car and thought I'd give it a try in the Spitfire since it has a higher boiling point than the Valvoline.
My concern, probably from leaking seals in the past, was the difference between US Spec DOT 3 (Wilwood) and English DOT 3 fluids. The DOT 4 seems to be compatible, but at with lower boiling temperature than the specialty fluid.
Has any one used the Wilwood with Triumph OEM grade brake parts?
thanks
