Re: Clutch & brake fluid for Rev3

It shouldn't make any difference. Personally, I'd put DOT 3 or 4 in as it doesn't asborb water as quickly as DOT5.1.

Given that its for the clutch, it shouldn't get hot - so there should be no chance for the clutch fluid getting hot and boiling.

Picman at Donington

Just wondering - has anyone actually been able to get hold of Picman at all on the phone to order a CD?

I'm looking to order a CD with all the photos from Donington and Anglesey the weekend before but they're not returned any of the calls I've made to them over the last few days .... :?
