Hi all ,back again after long absence .Been rebuilding n/s body on RRC (detail above) ,did o/s last year .
However ,this time the front inner wing did not want to leave its home of nearly 30 years and I had a ...ahem....moment ,as it were....and tore it off by brute force with several wires and such still connected .
Now ,my problem (yes I know I have many more serious personal ones) is that one of the vacuum hoses snapped/tore and now I cannot find its source leading to compromised vacuum system affecting tuning and braking .
The soft rubber hose in question is the small diameter one from the the top of engine area to the globe/sphere reservoir that lives in the n/s ,spare battery area .The other ,slightly narrower hose runs through the bulkhead to the heater controls .
Where does this hose originate ?Where is its connection to the vacuum circuit round the plenum and heads ?I cannot find a spigot or flapping torn end of hose.....help ?
Yes ,Im an idiot ,I know that .I am constantly reminded by her indoors among many ,oh so many others .I have all the workshop books etc as pdf but still havnt located the source .Even I think Im stupid .
I have so much to do on the back wheelarch ,sides ,floor sides ,C pillar ,seatbelt anchorage box ,spare wheel dish ,etc etc...not to mention the holes in the chassis top that I just found .
So any help gladly accepted and appreciated...Im sorted for contempt and insults .
