I am wondering about fitting an electric vacuum pump. I have been told that running 6 Weber carbs doesn't produce much vacuum.
Seems to have had new pads all round and the master cylinder doesn't look that old.
Does anyone have any experience fitting an electric vacuum pump?
Sorry Jag, no experience of electric vacuum pumps but I'm wondering if you've got partially restricted brake lines? Have you tried bleeding the brakes and did you have a good flow of fluid when the bleed nipples are open?
