#1 69 vaccum tubes, mass confusion 6 cyl.

Folks, looking at
https://www.sngbarratt.com/English/#/uk ... 5B16520%5D

I see the two vaccum tubes come/to the brake servo on the driver side, then looking at diagram
the very light color you see the master cylinder and two rubber tubes going to it on this diagram,
but it show it on the right side, around the reservac, ok maybe I am wrong, but are these hoses really long
and they somehow route over the engine and go back to the left side? this really does nat make any sense to me,
they would have made 3 vacuum lines and not two, I saw a pick on web that shows a vacuum line(rubber) that goes fromthe top of brake servo to the intake manifold, is that rite? or does it really go by the pipe under the wipers? remember this a basket case car and I am just tying to figure out all the lines. yes this is confusing to me and my post is also confusing I am sure.

Hi,

You’ve started a new thread???

Anyway, that SNG diagram all looks about right to me. Don’t understand what hose you think is going back across the engine to the LH side? If you mean hose 6, that is the hose going from the engine vacuum feed on the inlet manifold to the reservac.

12 and 21 on the diagram are pipe clips?
