Yes, and Dot 4.

 

[Salty seadog]

Yes, and Dot 4.

So anything with DOT 5.1 on the label. Brake and clutch fluid etc.....

 

[Drago]

Yes. The temperatures are nowt compared to what the brakes suffer in a car, so even the 99p stores brand would do fine, provided it's a genuine DOT4 or 5.1.

 

[fossyant]

Not DOT 5 though.

 

[Salty seadog]
