not to get defensive either, but SPF 1950 wasn't around in the 60's. Common practice from 2000 and up was that disc brakes used dot 5 and hyd. slave cylinders used dot 3. I agree, to be safe, purge both systems and use dot 3 for the hyd. clutch and dot 5 for the brakes. Manufacturer recommends to flush the salve cylinder every 1-2 years anyway as that fluid for some reason always seems to get very dirty.
