Brake fluid mixing
I currently have dot 4 brake fluid in the system but have acquired some calipers that had dot 5, can I flush them through with dot 4 or will that not
work? what is the easiest/cheapest way to use them?

If it was Dot 5.1 then you can do what you suggested, they are both based on glycols. Dot 5 is silicone based, you would need to strip, thoroughly
clean and ideally replace the seals.
Phoned the local ramblers club today, but the bloke who answered just
went on and on.

have only ever used dot 5 on my karts....5.1 is more than good enough for car brakes...
just because you are a character, doesnt mean you have character....
for all your bespoke parts, ali welding, waterjet, laser, folding, turning, milling, composite work, spraying, anodising and cad drawing....
u2u me for details
