Vacuum Pumps

<< < (2/2)

Miniman:
Yes for me it was fairly easy as I am a dab hand with a welder and grinder. The hard part is making the bracket to hold it on. I tryed to take some pics last night of it for you but it did not work as the light had gone. The camera is No good in the dark. Will try again today for you. Yes you can take the butterfly off and its alot better than the old system. My brakes are fantastic. Always there when you need them. I would recomend it if you have probs with the old system.

Also alot better when you are off roading as you use your brakes alot off road. The vac pump inlet pipe I have welded onto my Oil Breather cap so it gets lube and is quiet.

Miniman:
pics for you. Don't know if you can make owt out from them.

ian_s:
those are great
looks almost as if it were meant to be :)
wether i'd trust my own welding, i dont know
i put a new spring hanger on the front of mine, and it aint broke yet :)

my brakes are fantastic, when theres vacuum built up
use them 3 or 4 times in quick succession and then you need a right foot made of lead

Miniman:
Its been on there 6 months now and not given me any problems whatsoever. I even go in the water runs with it over the bonet and not a prob with bearings or owt...

There are two bolts on the front of the engine where the eye was for lifting the engine out that is where the front part bolts to and the back is one bolt which is the front bolt of the exhaust manifold. I thought I would get problems with the exhaust being to close but not so far. I am however going to make a plate to go between so it takes some heat away as it is close....
