Please be careful when assuming the brakes are OK. (after my C50 had sat for most of the last 25 years)...It took about two months and 80-100 miles before my wheel cylinders started to go; both front wheel cylinders gave out first, I started doing the break work before the rears got a chance to die. Although other brake parts and even wheel bearings look to have been replaced at some time, the wheel cylinders all looked original.

It's not easy to do, but well worth it.
