Blanking off unused vacuum connections

Featured Replies

Want to simplify the vacuum system as I think some of you have already done but where can I get some bungs/caps to cover the unused ports on the underside of the inlet manifold? Don't really want to use a piece of hose with a bolt in the end and I'm sure I saw someone who had used rubber caps or similar. Any ideas?

A few people use CNC laved pieces of metal from draft 42.

Just had a quick look on eBay and these have come up;

Last time I looked there couldn't find any!!

Not sure which would be the correct size for the vacuum connections under the inlet manifold though. Anybody know or do I need to have a check myself first?

I used a bolt and a jubilee clip - I felt that was suitable for my oil burning device :-)

I used some vacuum caps I got from Ebay with a cable tie around them just to make sure:

Do you remember what size the yellow one is? I shall probably use a jubilee clip on mine, just to be extra sure.

best too use a jubilee, as the manifold can be under vacuum or boost depending on how engine is being driven
