Since the brake and clutch hydraulic systems are new from "head-to-toe", we chose to use dot 5 silicone brake fluid. It is five times the cost of ordinary fluid, but it pays off in the long run. 
Silicone fluid does not absorb moisture so the wheel cylinders, calipers, slave cylinder and master cylinders are less likely to rust. No rust means extended life.
This should be a low maintenance system for years to come.
The archive listing of this blog contains detailed step-by-step photos and narratives regarding this restoration since it began late last December. Please direct any comments and questions to tommystoplesscars@yahoo.com.
Y'all come back now...
