Vacuum Point

If you are using the Haynes manual for 748/916/996 the only picture of the vacuum take off is in the Fuel and Exhaust System section page 4.15 picture 10.10b. If you look at the picture the screw you require is in the centre about one third up from the bottom. It has a slotted head and is made of brass. It you try to remove it with the fairing on then be careful. If you drop it then a magnet will not pick it out. (Blue tack helps to retain it on the screwdriver blade). For installation I used a socket on an extension bar and was careful to avoid cross threading. Attaching the rubber take off connector was achieved with the aid of an extension bar to push it home.
