Making the Vacuum Canister

Ready-made vacuum canisters that include internal vacuum check valves are available at many

auto parts stores that sell cruise controls kits - JC Whitney, a major catalog auto parts retailer,

sells one for around $10US. The JC Whitney vacuum canister is about 4 inches in diameter and

about 5 inches long, with an internal volume of about 60 cubic inches. This VC has been used

with very good results on the PC800, but because of its large diameter, finding a location big

enough to accommodate it within the PC800's plastic may be a challenge. You can also make

one from parts readily available at hardware stores.

PVC or ABS plastic pipes and fittings can be readily used to fabricate vacuum canisters of nearly

any size. Carefully measure the space where the vacuum canister will be located and size the

parts accordingly, for there is very limited space within the PC800's fairings. The volume of a

cylinder may be calculated with the formula:

Some common VC dimensions:
