Did you have the manifold made?

As they are custom they will make what is asked for.

Short answer is yes, if you need a vacuum feed you'll need to drill and tap the manifold and put in a feed.

Or use an electric vacuum maker something like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12V-Vacuum-Pump-Kit-Brake-Booster-Electric-Vehicle-Hotrod/192877251317?hash=item2ce8614af5:g:FDsAAOSwwZxcCUTU

Probably don't need the entire kit, but not sure. It's something I heard about and I've never done it.

If you can find the brake check valve out of a later 1.8 Cabriolet they have the additional ports that you require for the Vacuum.


What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.

Where are my DIY Links?

I like the suggestion of an electric vacuum pump, already suggested. Its what i was thinking of doing when fitting jenveys, because advice i received thought  one runner would not provide enough vacuum.
