Hi Connor,

Yes the parts list can be hard to negotiate at times. Within categories they are arranged alphabetically so if you don't know the exact title it can cause a long search.
I looked at manifold area first thinking that was most likely. It wasn't with the vacuum brake tube either which is under the distributor section. It was under the wipers section.

I think it is only a chamber too. I had three from poor to very good condition all with nothing inside. Doesn't mean there wasn't something there but always willing to be enlightened if I am wrong.

Cheers,
