Re: brake booster vacuum?

["Rick Alexander" <rick@brubakerbox.com>]

Has anyone considered the vacuum pump from VW cruise control? The VW cruise
runs a separate vacuum system from the engine and therefore requires a pump.
They are small, about 3" square and could be located just about anywhere. I
have no idea if there would be enough vacuum to assist the brakes, that
would need to be investigated by someone.

Just some more food for thought.
