You can use wire reinforced silicone hose - 10 or 12mm inside diameter

I have the same servo and master cylinder on my RHD car, but it has literally been years since I looked at it.. would it not be possible to flip the servo 180 (upside down) to move the vac port to the other side?

Jase.

Had a look at rotating the booster but then the connection will
end op behind the fluid reservoir.
I think I will try to mold the hard line with the aid of a heat gun.

This is the temporary fix. Really ugly...
I think I'll get some Festo hose and 90° elbows.


JW

[struikie]

Perfect fit.


About to order some black silicone vacuum hose and 90° elbows.
Just need to make the new hardlines to the mbc before I can
start filling up with brake fluid and bleeding the brakes.
Hope to go for a drive this weekend.

Looks fine. Alex makes some very good kit. We are lucky to have him helping us out

[Error404]

Looks factory once you fit some black hose

[struikie]

Made the hardlines.










(driveways is uneven)


After tightening some connections here and there I could go for a drive.
The vacuum hose isn't up to the job. It got sucked flat hahahaha
Have ordered some replacement stuff. Even with the flat hose braking power
is amazing! Feels really good that is turned out good.

Yes you need wire reinforced hose or semi-rigid hose

[Jaswan]

Love how quickly you are getting through these jobs

Jase.

Thanks!
The speed will drop now. Next is a Blaupunkt Bremen SQR46 DAB headunit to get some basic sound in the car. After that it's saving money for a KW V3 and a full drivetrain and under body refresh....

That looks a little better. I wonder how long this will last as the stationary vacuum
hose will rub on the moving mount and hose of the cruise control actuator... I'll try and
get a connector with a 90° angle that goes on the booster like some VAG cars have.


Car had an alignment today an the air-conditioning was filled up.
Now I can go and use it some days for my commute.

JW

[struikie]

Got a 90° connection of a Golf 4. This is much better.


Protected the hose a bit with an extra layer of the same hose.


I have a deal on a 2.8 24V VR6 from a Ford Galaxy that I can remove with all
the stuff from the engine bay that I like and today I finalized a deal on a
brand new crate motor.
Plan is to put the Galaxy engine in with a spacer (low power) and build the crate motor
in parallel (over a longer time) with bearings/ rods/ pistons for full power.
Happy with that!

Ford galaxy engine in this?

[struikie]

No, at the moment it's the original 2.6 V6 ABC.
At some point it will be replaced by the Galaxy engine which is just a VAG VR6.
