Default WTB: Laust's dual port vacuum manifold

Ive got a single port vacuum manifold i bought some time ago but figures i end up with a late '88 that has a dual port intake manifold. Does anyone happen to have an extra dual port they want to sell, or maybe have a dual port and need a single port so we can trade?

I was going to either plug the extra port but finding a proper sized metric set screw has proven to be difficult locally. The other option was to drill the second hole with a drill press but i would rather not risk modifying it (incorrectly) deeming it useless.

Wow! he sold a ton of them. I take it he is not going to start another build?

Keep pluging away your best bet is finding someone who has a spare?
Did you post anything on the 924 944na forum? someone over there may have purchased one and never used it?

good luck..

Hey Jon, are your talking about the longer banjo bolt with the 2 holes that came in the earlier cars? I have one I'm not using (thought I lost it and bought a replacement from George B @ 944 ecology..very helpful guy)

if you need it let me know

Any word on these vacuum manifolds, I pmed Sharkey, but yet no response. As I am installing mods that require manifold pressure, and I am tired of T-ing into the 2 lines from the banjo bolt.

I would just find a single port manifold, it would probably be dirt cheap. I just gave one away with a few other things
