Hi Andy, I am about to put a remote servo on my TD, it is not a kit though
just various items I have bought. Is there any hard and fast rule about
where the manifold is tapped for the vac take off?. I have been told that it
should be in the centre of the maniflod to minimise any effect on fuel
mixture. On my TD there is not enough room to tap on centre because of the
air intake.
Did you fit the servo above the rear axle, and can you remember what the
hole size is in the centre of the hose coupling that screws into the
manofold?.
The benefit of your experience will be much appreciated,
Regards
David Tinker
