You have definatley got more if you are using KDs. I have two RN, based on your spec almost certainly better but may not be the best.
You are welcome to borrow them to try

Then get a cheap tank and this valve (191551792377) and plumb the vac gauge between the servo and this new valve.
If you go my (cheapass) route it's fairly unobtrusive. Alternatively this looks shinier(&#128516

Thanks Russ, put in an offer on a tank and ordered the NRV. What size VAC hose fits do you remember? The cheapass route is good.

I'm back working on the car, so many ideas and things to do. I snapped my thumb tendon earlier in the year which stopped me working at the workshop for a while.

If you mean the u tube video it's moved on. Sound much better now😄
Just need someone with more nonce than the missus to video it!

Can't remember what I ended up with but I still have some trailing to do as well.

The one you posted a while back. I take it she doesn't read the forum. ;-)

Did you put in an offer on a tank with the hoses attached? They are normally sealed on and makes everything simpler. Other wise you need hose that will hold 30"HG as well as fit the tank outlet. Hoses need to hold the vacuum and whilst on eBay they say they are suitable for vacuum I'm dubious. It needs to be reinforced really.
I'm putting together with a guy in China a complete silicone hose kit for the 1800 including a preformed hose from the heater valve to head. Rather than the straight hose that doesn't run well.
Also a split oil cooler hose. As part of that kit will be servo hoses. That may not help you now but eBay has plenty. The audi tank I have only has a small bore hose but it's the tank volume that's important
Snapped tendon, sounds painful. I had an accident in the MX5, C3, C6 and C7 have herniated. Apparently need a fusion. My mate reckons it will be better than the Brass Neck I'm currently😄

No they all were just the tank so will need to source some decent VAC hose.

Christ your back injury would hurt way more. Hope you get it sorted. The tendon didn't really hurt much at all, I just couldn't use it while it healled after the op to sew it back together.

The worst bit is I cannot swim anymore, can't lift my neck up so hit the end!
Still running which does actually help.
Trying to convince the wife I need a four post lift cause getting underneath now is a pain!

Just seeing the air intake on your P1800 reminds me of another thing I have planned, an early styled P1800 intake design for my Amazon is on the list of things to do.
