I've got a 1952 MGTD. When I put her to bed last fall, the brakes were
fine. Now the peddle goes down to the floor. First step is to add
brake fluid, but I don't know what's in there now. Have seen plenty of
cautions about mixing fluid types. Any way of figuring out what's in
there now?

TIA

Purge and replace.


First of all, is it really low? If so, and it's only sat there over
winter it's got enough of a leak need to find and fix it first.

That there's no pedal resistance indicates probably developed leak in
master cylinder over the winter most likely problem imo.

Had early postwar (exact vintage unknown/lost in time but it had odd
bits and pieces that indicated it was kinda' cobbled together very
shortly after while production shortages were still a problem) TC.

Unfortunately had to sell it to keep living to get thru school...
