Ken,
Amazingly, the only parts of 38690 that worked perfectly (with no leaks)
prior to restoration were the hydralics. While the car sat in various
states of disassymbly for 2.5 yrs. I stored the brake & clutch m/c and
clutch s/c in sealed plastic bags. Upon reassymbly, the only things that
didn't work were, you guessed it, the hydralics ( and the water pump-you
can't let it sit dry for extended periods I found out, but that's another
story). I'd wait, but since mine may be an isolated incident, you may
want to get other input.
Hope this helps,
Jim Davis
