Hi all Another question for my 1957 S1 (B527EK) refurbishment please. What brake fluid should I use? I was told RR363, but surely that only became available when the Shadow was introduced years after my car was built, or not so? Kind regards KC | ||

Hello KC, RR363 Will work,but will be going overboard and a waste of money. Dot 4 is perfect. (Also not available when Clouds were built, but you can't dismiss things because of that.) A much more pleasant brake overhaul than the Shadows, I bet? | ||

I did the brakes on my '65 Vauxhall. I did the brakes on both my Shadows. My Vauxhall has 3 hoses. It took a week to find all the hoses on my Shadows. | ||

Thank you very much. This is what I thought. Why would people recommend RR363? I have not reached the brakes yet, but that is next. I am busy with the cooling system overhaul. Refurbishing this S1 is such fun because it is so well built. Everything is of good quality and it cleans up so well. I find it enormously satisfying to remove an old dirty part, clean it up, and replace when shiny and like new. |
