Default Way OT -- brake fluid


"TD Driver" wrote in message
...
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

In the past 50+ years it may have been mixed or changed, at least. Good
chance it is DOT3 or at least can take it. If the pedal goes to the floor
after just sitting, most likely you have a bad seal or a brake line corroded
through and the fluid should be flushed after the repair anyway.
