I agree with this - whenever I want to get a new old car (or one of my old old cars that's been sitting) ready to use on the road, I replace or rebuild everything in the braking system that has rubber in it, since the rubbber swells and/or dries out over time. Replace everything at the same time and you're starting from a known solid base.

Brakes and tires are the wrong areas in which to economize.

Best of luck, and keep us posted!

Best Regards,
Rob
