G'day,

Below you will find an email I posted regarding these pumps which I believe will allay anyone fears about the Azure vacuum pump
along with one from Les B.

Dave L did a demo of it at the Shawnee GMCMI Convention in conjunction with the GMC booster and it was amazing!

They are still available from Dorman P/N 904-814 unfortunately they ain't $115 any more! However, I ga-ron-tee this pump will out
perform anything else on the market. Take into consideration it was NOT a backup; it was the only vacuum source for braking in the
Azure!

Subject: [GMCnet] SUPER Brake Booster Aux Vacuum Pump

G'day,

Here's a SUPER brake booster Aux Vacuum Pump for our GMC's

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-Continental-Electric-Vacuum-Pump-12VDC-Ford-A426C-/370691272503

I purchased two of them and they really SUCK! ;-)

At $115 with free shipping they are a bargain compared to anything else out there. If you read the blurb you will note that they
were meant to go in an electric vehicle sold in Europe that has been discontinued (Ford Azure). That means they were the ONLY vacuum
source for the brake booster so they had to be designed to be ultra reliable. I took one of these suckers apart and found that the
internals are very simple and crank / connecting rods run on bearings!

Because they have dual diaphragms they suck a lot more than any other pump on the market.

Unfortunately you will have to come up with a mounting bracket as none are available commercially.

If you buy one you will note that the plastic 3/8" barb fitting has a little tab that fits in a slot on the pump that keeps it from
rotating, with a small Dremel tool you can remove the barb and the fitting will rotate 360 degrees.

The ford vacuum pump ( aka Ford Azzure vacuum pump) that was listed on eBay a while back is still easily found. The early f150
ecoboost pick up uses the same pump. They were notorious for corrosion, so Ford revised the design and the latest version has a
black composite body. You can buy them here in Canada at the Ford dealer for just a bit over $200cad.
