Default Mk2 brake servo hoses

Can anyone tell me if the two brake servo hoses, one going from the vacuum tank to the servo and the other from the vacuum tank to the inlet manifold both enter the engine bay through the hole in the bottom of the brake servo housing.

If so, what vacuum hose are you using as I purchased 3/8” vacuum hose (approx 19mm OD) and I’m struggling to get both these through the servo housing!!

thanks
George

You are correct, and they are a tight fit !


It's easier to take the cover off and then put it over the pipes, you will really struggle pushing the 2 through the hole.

No photos I am afraid at the moment but the servo tank sits upright on the front chassis cross member right behind the front lights. It is bolted to the cross member with two bolts.

Cheers,
That's useful, I could really do with a photo or a measurement from the flitch panel if anyone has one

Ray,
As I said in the other thread there is very little you won't find on Lin's valvechatter thread/blog regarding restoring a Mk2. Lin listed & photographed & diagrammed the entire process. Learn to navigate his blog by clicking main headings & all will open up. https://valvechatter.com/?p=2116

Brakes:

Good luck & enjoy! Shout if you need help. Don't hesitate.

That's fine. Then ask here & we will chase it up for you. Lot's of combined knowledge here. Cass & I have large libraries but they are mainly S Type.
