Hi all, been looking at my 480 turbo lump and i can't seam to find a servo hose take off from the inlet manifold..
All servo brakes run off a vacum from the manifold but i can't seam to find one any where?

Any body got any idea's.... Rob..

Note this is a 1994 b18ft. I know on some 480's the inlet is blanked off. Where is connects in that case I forget.

hope it helps.

If you have the inlet manifold of a 480 which was equiped with ABS, then there wasn't any hose for the servo brakes. The ABS system uses the ABS pump to increase the braking power.

Brill mate, so that explains why i can't find it lol... My little take off has a factory bung in there so it obv never had one and uses the pump..

Thanks alot chaps.
