breather and servo pipe

[daz the plumber]

ive noticed that my carbon canister breather pipe and servo vac pipe is on the opisite way round to every other tvr chimaera ive seen .the carbon canister pipe is connected nearer to the front of the car on the plenum.i wonder if this affects anything.

[Chimjunkie]

Recon may affect your stopping distance as vacuum particles have to travel that bit further to get down to the brake servo
Unhelpfull comment. Sorry

[daz the plumber]

thanks for the help !can you have a look and tell me which way yours are connected

[Chimjunkie]

The whole plenum will experience pretty much the same level of vacuum. It is therefore only a matter of aesthetics. One on Right is brake. Left Carbon canister.



Edited to get it right!

Mines to the right and so is the carbon canister, infront of the radiator drivers side.

Depends which fitting was put where in the Trumpet base? IIRC one is plain the other is flared, one is valved and the other isn't?

PS FO its too cold to go out & have a look!

One has got a one way valve in which is the brake servo.
Maybe relevant to you daz.

Too right. Took a trip to my archives in the Library to find those

I think, as Spend had pointed out, that the two fittings are also different. They suit a different pipe size? Seem to remember the two hoses would only go back on one way round. But you could remove the fittings from the plenum and swap round if you wanted to be anal about it!

not sure what you are looking at but hope this helps,if not i can take a picture in the morning.
