What fluid type

What DOT fluid do i use for brake and clutch as I am thinking of bleeding both and changing the front brake lines.
I have been quoted £62.00 on E bay for Goodridge hoses is that the going rate or does anyone know of cheaper where I can get hold of some. Thanks

You'll need DOT 4 or DOT 5.1, but NOT DOT 5! For hoses, give Venhil a ring. They do screw together ones at very reasonable prices.

Go with Felix' suggestion on the fluid. try HEL for the lines. about £19 a line for stainless fittings
