Subject:Brake fluid capacity of Clutch/Brake circuits
From:Steve Williams <steve@WILLIAMSITCONSULTING.COM>

Hi,

Where I live (small town Western Canada), supply chain is a problem and
no-one has DOT 4 brake fluid.�  I replaced my master cylinder and I had
to re-use my brake fluid to be able to get mobile.

I can't seem to find in the Bentley what the capacity of the clutch
circuit is.�  Once I can get brake fluid, what is the capacity of the
clutch circuit?�  It seems to be at least 8 oz from my experience today,
but not 100% sure.

While I'm at it, I do need to bleed my brakes completely as well, but no
idea how much fluid that would take.

If I buy a 4 liter jug, I cannot imagine the reservoir's and lines
taking more than that.�  Does that sound like overkill?�  or not enough?

Thanks,
Steve Williams
