Due to my scary loss of braking power on Saturday due to engine stall, I've going to install a back up vacuum system. I checked out amazon and found these units.
brake vacuum pumps

They all look pretty similar but vary widely in price. They are marketed under different names but probably all from the same factory in China. I have no problem with that; most stuff is made there! In order to use one of these (any recommendations btw? I usually go with cheapest lol) I'm guessing I'll need a relay to switch it plus a pressure cut-off switch, a non-return valve and some plumbing, right?

any tips gratefully received as usual.

Thanks

Larry
