Gurus,

I've just finished bead blasting, cleaning, Alodining and honing my brake 
and clutch MC.  When I disassembled them, the MC and the piston on both 
were very badly rusted.  The rust in the MC and on the pistons has been 
completely removed and I'm ready to reassemble the bits.  What's a good 
treatment for the pistons to ensure that they don't re-rust while they sit, 
awaiting the rest of the car (at least two years away)?  I was thinking 
about Lithium grease, but wasn't sure it would be compatible with hydraulic 
fluid (I plan to use DOT 5).

TIA

Jim
