How to preserve calipers

[al_kaholik]

If you plan to refurbish them at a later date regardless, you could take them to pieces and wipe some 3in1 oil on them. Otherwise I'd fill with brake fluid the best you can to protect the insides and plug them. Whack them in a plastic bag in the house until you want to use them.

I had some Porsche single pots in the garage for ages in pieces, the bores were oiled and still good, only had a very light hone when I put them back together. The pistons were kept inside out of harms way in a plastic bag after oiling.
