You'll be a good boy Bob just as soon as you divulge the names of these US surplus suppliers
Just for the record - I pulled em apart - greased them up - put em back together and put em back on the truck. Transferred the little vacuum outlet off my little Cab 13 to the 12 (where the advance is under the carbie) connected up the vacuum hose (which I got from Mac's) and Viola! They worked a
treat.
I was suprised to find they were just about perfect inside - like new!
Bought a 6 foot roll of Vacuum hose. It was only just enough to reach one wiper motor. I'll have to get more.
Just on that subject. Where the hell is the vacuum line supposed to run on a Ford 12 Cab??? I'll take some pictures of what I've done but Ive got no idea if its the original way
Thanks to Ken, Jim and Brian & Boob for all the input to this thread. Its been a great help to me....
