Re: IML: '61 Conv. hydraulic fluid

[dennis sullivan <captden29@xxxxxxxxx>]

typically these old convertibles used brake fluid. the owners manual  may confirm this. dot 3 or 4 will do just fine. my 54 windsor conv had  not been operated for 20 years. when i hit the switch nothing happened.  i made sure power was getting to the motor, and then i pulled it out,  took it apart, cleaned everything, and upon re-istalling everything  worked fine. i use brake fluid.   dennis
