Does anyone know if the front wheel cylinders on a 710m interchange with any that I could purchase at my local napa or autozone? I just blew out a front left that the prior owner had recently rebuilt...I was thinking that there must be some VW or Mercedes that should interchange :?:

No interchange , brake parts are manufacturer specific.
Get a new kit from Expedition imports.
Inspect the bore, they are nickel plated, if it is not pitted rebuild it.
Previous owner may have used an old surplus N.O.S. kit.

.....and if it is, just get it stainless steel lined, and then rebuild it!

Thanks Guys, I ordered rebuild kits today from SAV..guess I better break out the honer...its been awhile since I rebuilt wheel cylinders but was told that the replacement non original cylinders are from india and have a reputation for failures so I am hoping mine are original cylinders. I am hoping the brake fluid did not spoil my brake linings.
