<VV> Brake Fluid Tech tip

[J R Read_HML]

About a year ago, a CCE member brought a packet of test strips to the June 
meeting.  Everyone used a small one by dipping it in the MC and then 
comparing the resulting color change to a chart.  I think there were 6 or 7 
different shades on the chart - resulting in "like new" to "your brake lines 
are still holding pressure?"  Well, those were not the real categories, but 
you get the idea.  Two out of 25 or so (me being one of them) fell into the 
"like new" category.  Both of us have DOT5 fluid in the system.

Who makes or sells the test strips, I do not know.

Later, JR
