The leather windscreen liner was ordered along with the rest of the interior kit from JohnSkinner Manufacturing in the UK. While it might be seen as unnecessary by some, I think it will marry up nice with the leather dash and the rest of the leather in the interior, giving it that consistently finished look and feel. Great job John and another excellent instructional video.
Absolutely DON'T use DOT5. It may be easier on the paint, but the relatively primitive brake system on the '6 isn't suited to it and the seals will fail. It is also risky if regular maintenance is undertaken by a commerial workshop - surprisingly few understand the difference between DOT3 and DOT5, let alone between DOT5 and DOT5.1, and mixing mineral and silicone is a recipe for brake failure.

Looks really nice! Great progress…,
use DOT 5 brake fluid , it is easy on paint.

As for brake fluid, yes, dot 3 is ideal, but dot 4 is ok too. Dot 5 would be for more mordern vehicles.
