Brake booster reservoir finished

Been a great day for finishing projects as I wait to get my heads back.
I don't see this car needing a windshield washer so I decided to replace it with a vacuum reservoir for the brake booster.
I used this one from Summit, it fit perfectly where the washer bottle goes, attached with 2 five inch rubber lined hose clamps.

New 15/32 vacuum line from the hard line to a stainless T, out of the T to the reservoir check valve, the other outlet goes to a vacuum gauge in the cabin (not yet run when I took this pic).
Out of the reservoir straight to the booster.
I got 22 inches or so of vacuum on the system and it holds great and give you 3 or 4 solid brake applications before it drops to zero.

Still can't drive the damn thing but it should be a nice improvement.9C4F4CC5-96EA-4732-8D3E-F75C3F609E2428837DD5-9AF0-40BE-A258-4D57447E5170
