Brake rebuild

I've actually allready rebuilt all 4 calipers, replaced the flex lines & the small steel lines. still have one main line to replace that was kinked. problem is that I got side tracked (don't ask) and there has been no fluid in the system for about 3 months. any side affects you can think of, thx.

Was the car indoors?

There is residual fluid in the system, a few months isn't a problem unless you have a beach house

I would get plenty of cheap brake fluid to completely flush the system.

It it were me, I'd flush some fresh fluid through the lines just to ensure any residue is gone. Then, assemble and drive...

I wouldn't worry too much.

Do a visual. If you have issues, you'll see them at the ends of the exposed lines (corrosion won't start in the dead middle of the line).

Flush. Fill. Enjoy.
