Redid my blue brake lines this past fall and forgot what the fluid level was in the resevoir. How far do I top it off? Thanks.

Just to the max line on the bottle/res. (if it has one), otherwise or instead just 1/16" - 1/8"shy of the flat top of the res. You don't want heat, atmospheric changes nor braking action to force any fluid out around the seal & onto your beauty there!

Break Fluid EATS paint, plating, etc.!

That's after you've bleed down the system & removed any air bubbles, so you have a constant fluid level in the res. that is!!
