Gidday Kurt, I may be able to shed some light there. Not sure if yr H36 is ex Thai but military tend to ignore any manufacturers type certificate, Plus the normal brake fluid they use is the aircraft stuff. So dot4 is of course automotive. It does sound as if U will need to replace all the seals. As Rob said the brakes themselves are Cleveland replacement seals should be easy to get. Not sure about the master cyl tho
