Hello,
I need to have my hydrovac rebuilt but a few places I have contacted have a long turnaround time.
So, I will ask--- does anyone have a serviceable hydrovac they would be willing to part with? I don't know if they made more than 1 unit but mine is a Bendix.
Thanks

Hi Jeff:

The only unit used in 1955 was the Bendix.  It would be unwise to purchase
any used unit thinking it's a "plug in" since after all those years they ALL need
to be rebuilt.

There are a number of people who do these, I don't know who all you tried,
but keep searching the net. 

Here is one in Pittsburgh, PA that I used years ago and they did a great job.
Anybody that is good is going to be busy so don't let the lead times spook you.
