Jim, I just read your FAQ about using DoT 5. I found it very informative, and
from what you're saying I should just stick to the DoT 3 as I'm not really
ready to have the working calipers rebuilt at this time.

This question was actually for my 69 square. But this could also apply to my
65 which has been upgraded to 4 lug wheels all around and discs up front (70
IRS pan), that have the later 2 bleeder calipers (Varga brand that are
10+years old). Thanks for responding to my questions, you've helped me decide
which way I really need to go on this. Thanks.
