Brake fluids.......

As long as you use clean brake fluids rated DOT 3 or 4, you'll be fine. If you are using a pressurized brake bleeder on a newly installed brake MC, double check that the hoses are properly fitted and secured. A pressure of 10 psi. for the brake bleeding would be sufficient but for the G-50 clutch saver bleeding you'll have to adjust it slightly higher (15 psi or less). Learned this trick from KTL (Kevin). Test the brake and clutch pedals for firmness when depressed. Then introduced the 'blue' or expensive brake fluid if you desire to do so. It requires some level of proficiency or skill or practice to bleed the right amount of brake fluid to get a firm brake/clutch pedal feel. Saving a few ounces of brake fluid is not your main goal. Keep us posted.
