With a little adjustment the bmw B Piller worked a treat

Most of the wood was too rotten so chopped most of it up.

I pushed it off the trailer but half stayed on

Sorry no pick, no matter how much I crop it it's too large to upload but there was a lot of rust left

When I first seen one of these I was Abit confused with the two pistons side by side, but it makes alot of sense having the brake and clutch all in one.

The seals looked ok and I made some new gaskets then put it back together. Then did a bench bleed to see if it is working. It works ok but eventually sticks and does not return. The cylinders looked good but looks like it was resleved with poured copper then honed to suit.

Guess I have to send it away for stainless sleeves.

I will pull apart the other one first and see what that looks like inside first. (Outside was heavy pitted and had some dirt nests inside)

Think I am going ott for this pos, the idea was a rough and ready restoration to try and motivate me into finishing the bluebird.

I was not happy with the lead covering the little holes along the bottom so I cut that too. Then after cleaning it up I put the rust prevention on.
