I have rebuilt the clutch slave and master cylinders and am ready to put them back in the car, HOWEVER the car will be stored over the winter in my shed which is a little damp at times. My question is do I put them in now and fill them up, do I put them in and leave them empty or do I put them in in the spring. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/canpatriot.GIF
 
Put them in now and don't service them. The bores will not be exposed to moist air and there will be no fluid to absorb moisture. Put a piece of tape over the vent hole in the cap (if there is one).
 
Shoot, put em in, bleed em and such and you are ahead next spring.
 
Probably better to do it all now and not leave the brake lines open or with air in them all winter.

Then it'd be ready to go if there's a nice day sometime too.....
