ATE brake fluids (was Brake fluid change / brake bleeding)

[Dan Simoes]

Craig - my buddy Pete at Double Z Motors is expanding into the parts
business and has very good prices, and I know he has the stuff in stock.
I recommend him for any used and/or new pieces you might need.

Check out his web site at http://www.zzmotors.com.

I think a liter would do you, but I always buy 2 at a time just in case.
