Thanks, it was fun!

Tom, who was over here the other day said that he has several aluminum vacuum tanks just sitting around, and would be happy to give one to me. (I told you he is a Master Scrounger!)

I am sort of leaning towards some sort of vacuum pump system right now, because it keeps the car closest to the original setup. Also, I am only running with 6 batteries. If I decide to go to 12, it doubles the weight of the battery pack. If I already have the power brake setup, the car would be ready with that extra stopping power. If converted to manual brakes, I might still have to change them later anyways.
