Hi Jeff,
I presume from the fact that you refer to Kart components, that you are talking
about a Mono Wheel Europa, or a Tri gear with toe brakes.
If the Mono, then both Master cylinder and brake unit are fitted with seals that
are compatible with Dot 4 or standard automotive fluid.
If Tri gear, then the brake units ( which are different to the Mono) need dot 5
or aviation type fluid. The Kart Master cylinder in this case will have been
supplied with replacement seals to make it compatible with the brake unit.
I hope this helps.

Hi Troy,?
You are good to go on the dot-5. Sounds like your starting to see the
light at the end of the tunnel. Any chance you'll be doing some lose
formation flying at Rough River this year? ;o)?
