I have seen some notes regarding brake fluid for our buggies.
The manual says DOT Type 3, but I seem to remember that some
have stated use of DOT Type 4. Are these compatible? Is
DOT 4 worth any extra cost?

My brake problems with "Money Pit" continue and it seems now
that I have probably lost some fluid. I suppose that this
could be a result of some air in the lines having been displaced
and level in the master cylinder dropping accordingly. This is
a problem I discovered when moving the coach from in front of
our house to a storage facility about 1/2 mile away.

I received a full set of brake shoes from Jim K's place today
and will need to find a competent technician to pull the drums,
have them trued, and put the whole bit back together.
