Vacuum Manifold (and other stuff)
When I contacted him to buy one about a year or so ago he had sold the design to someone else, and nothing ever came of it.

That's too bad. Ofcourse I noticed a vendor with a similar product. Either way, I sold my 86 and gave the new owner one of the 5 port manifolds, so he'll be able to find the info he might need on this thread.

ehall, Seeing as I'd like something like this so I can easily delete the CV once I pick up a Dual Port WG, would you mind enlightening me as to which vendor you've seen selling a similar product? If you don't wanna post it publicly just shoot me a PM.

Using this doesn't neccesarily make removing the CV any easier. It organizes all the vacuum lines to one neat location and gets rid of some of those annoying platic tees that Porsche used which like to break.

Lindsey Racing sells a 4-port banjo bolt so you can run a few more vacuum lines without the need for T's.
If anyone is interested, i have a single port vacuum manifold (with 5 barbed ends) i never used. I bought it before owning a 951.. go figure the 951 i bought is a '88 with a dual port manifold. Will sell for $45 shipped if anyone wants it.

Sharkey had expressed an interest in taking it over and we exchanged a few emails, which eventually fizzled out.
I believe he thought it was too complicated (= time consuming) to make … and he has a point.
In any case I still have 15 VM’s left, but only of the single banjo bolt 5-port design.
Since they are time consuming to make, I don’t think I can set time aside to make any in the near future, even though I enjoy the process of selling them.

New batch of VMs
I saw a renewed interest in my Vacuum Manifolds and got some time available, so I just finished making these 30 Vacuum Manifolds (24ea 5-port and 6ea 4-port manifolds). A few of them are for 2 banjo bolts (BB), but it is fairly easy to convert the 1 BB to 2 BB versions.
This time I decided to give them a “brushed look” with clear coat protection. I will also supply one black silicone cap with the 5-port versions, in case you don’t intend to use the 5th port.
The raw materials have gone up in price, we still have inflation, bla bla bla, so I have added $3 to the final price, which now is: $38 with $3, $5 and $8 S&H to US, Canada and ROW respectively.
I have a few “Brake-T”s (see post #1) as well. Since they are easy to make, I will create batches along the way, so little chance of running out of those. The price for those is unchanged, namely $8 ea and free shipping if done together with the VMs. If shipped separately then the S&H cost is the same as for the VM.
My PayPal address is unchanged and is listed on Post #45. PM me if you are interested in one.

PS I wanted to attach a picture, apparently exceeded the new quota of already uploaded pictures (13MB vs.10MB), deleted a number of pictures in old posts down to 6MB, but the quota changed to 4MB.
I also tried to go through PhotoBucket, but could only get this reference to a small picture, so here yuo go:

Right now is a good time to start.
To all:
Regarding the finish of the Vacuum Manifolds (brushed and clear coated):
The “brushed look” is done with 220 wet sanding and the clear coat I got from Eastwood. However the adhesion of the clear coat is only tolerable, so be a little careful handling the VM. The presence (or absence) of the clear coat does not affect functionality at all and is just a “cosmetics” feature.
