Installed Electric Vacuum Pump in the trunk today. Very simple, probably 10 minutes max. This came from W124 or W126 (cannot remember at this point). It has its own foam housing and plastic insert which mounts very nicely in the spare tire area. I need to source some longer and slightly bigger plastic rivets since the original ones from the JY are a little loose in the left hand corner. Other than that, I am ready to tap into the vacuum resevoir and wire this sucker up. The latter being the major challenge for me ... lol

I am hoping that the pump stops when a certain level of vacuum is achieved. If not, I will have to hook up an "On-Off" switch. If it automatically turns on and off, I still plan on wiring a manual shut off switch just in case.
