Car runs a VH44 remote booster under the dash which feeds from a 4 litre vacuum tank behind passenger seat (not in picture). Pump (bottom left of picture) evacuates the tank giving boosted brakes (front only). Turn the pump off...tank returns to normal pressure...and then brakes are un-boosted. Pump runs via a pressure switch when it's turned on. Solved a problem of minimal vacuum at manifold. Maybe not the easiest method but it works well.

I dig the way your fuel pump is mounted. Very cool.

Feral I always thought I could do something with those type of alternators. Now you`ve saved me some sleep

My solution for this is to fit a diesel alternator/vacuum pump combination. These alternators have a vacuum pump attached to the rear of the shaft.

 Re: Vacuum Pump - Brakes
Feral.......your suggestion is a far better option than what I did for anyone looking for a remote vacuum source if you have a lumpy cam giving minimal vacuum at the manifold. The way I did it was rather costly with the price of the pump ($800). I only found out about the diesel alternator/vacuum pump setup after this was installed. It's in now though so it'll stay.
