I saw my mate and my old 1973 (year) Midget yesterday, he has it looking and going better than I did, I notice when the bonnet was lifted that he had put DoT 5 silicone fluid in the brakes and clutch systems.  He said he did not clean the brake system (clutch system was apart and new piping) he just did the usual (Gunson) Eezibleed with the new silicone fluid pushing out and replacing the old DoT 4.  No problems with brakes or clutch.  Still no problems from putting DoT 5 silicone in his 1970 (year) "classic" 25+ years ago.

 

Both cars use similar brake parts as the Foreman.

 

Thank you for letting us know about this first hand experience.
