I'm ready to test the brakes.  I can't find in the manual where it
specifies the type of brake fluid to use.  I've been told by other builders
that I might be able to use the fluid that is in the hydraulic system.  Is
this true?  If not, whats the proper fluid to use.

By the way, I replaced all of my plastic brake lines with with 1/8 aluminum
lines and -3 size stainless steel braided lines.  It was expensive and time
consuming but it looks much more professional.  I slipped teflon tubing
over the stainless steel lines to hedge against any chaffing problems.
