Sticky wheel cylinders.
Having not used my other landy since 2011, the wheel cylinders are seizing up. I've stripped and cleaned the insides up, is it ok to lube everything with red rubber grease? (the propper stuff you get with rebuild kits) i.e. the bore the rubbers and pistons slide in?

some people say just use brake fluid but that doesnt stop the rust setting in. 1953 80"

I would use a small amount of rubber grease , brake fluid absorbs water
