... you can see the vacuum pump at the front of the head. Is there a port on them that blows the air out anywhere that could be utilised?

being as it only evacuates the servo and heater controls, which dont hold a lot of air recon the answer is no?

[Welung666]

Oh well. I've been looking at the small compressors mounted to the back of alternators. Transits use a vacuum pump on the back but don't have the power to pump up enough. Alternative is truck alternator with compressor but it would need rewinding for 12v.

you want a compressor or a vacuum pump?
if you want an air supply then any omega with air suspension set up has a compressor you can use to fit to your motor?

It's the compressor side I'm after for a toy What is the output on the suspension compressors? Can they be set up to run when required?

Not sure what you want to do with it, but I carry one of these cheap & nasty jobs;-

Perfect for tyres etc.    Round here they cost about £6.  8-)
