Documenting the restoration of a 1960 BMW 700 Sport Coupe done in our garage. A full nut and bolt rebuild from the ground up. The plan is to make a custom rally car drawing on inspiration from the 700 RS, the 700 rennsport and the Willi Martini prepped race cars.

Brake wheel cylinders
Rebuild kits for the wheel cylinders are ridiculously expensive and the ones from the car weren't looking so hot any way. So I gave Ireland Engineering a call. They set me up with brand new ones for little more than the cost of rebuild kits. The 700 used 20 mm cylinders in the front and 15mm in the rear. I was able to find a 22mm for the front and a 17mm for the rear. I think the 17mm ones are off the rear of a 2002 Tii and the 22mm ones are off the front of a New Class 1600. Some modification will be required for the one set but that looks pretty simple and straight forward. Next up, getting custom pads made.....
