S1 vacuum actuators

PostPost by: rodlittle » Fri Jan 20, 2012 1:45 pm

Does anyone know if both the left and right vac actuators on an S1 are the same?
Or do they have different mountings?

Rod - you can use them either side if you block off spare outlet. The only thing is that the outlets do end up pointing in an inconvenient direction.

I just reinstalled the actuators on my S3. All are pre- fail-safe, so the same according to the parts book.

I remember there being another 1/4" mount that goes horizontally through the inner wing (fender) which is another handed aspect of the vac pod, besides the vac line locations and number of them.
