I'm looking for a vacuum source also. I removed the vacuum pump and complete system from my 0-200 to cut down some weight. I have an elect T&B and was hoping for an elect AH but the price is out of sight. I'm looking to settle for a vacuum AH (I had one and sold it) if I can get a vacuum source other then a large round venturi hanging on the fuselage. I had considered mounting one in the cowling but I have no room. I've been wondering about building a rectangluar venturi and mounting it on the belly. Something like maybe one inch thick and 5 or 6 inches wide with venturi shape inside. It seems like that would be a lot more aerodynamic if it would work. Do we have any engineers on the net that could give me some dimensions and a hand drawing or something on what point to pick up the vacuum? I had also considered building something that looks like 1/2 a round venturi and mounting it directly on the fuselage. I suspect to work properly the venturi may have to be spaced out from it's mount in "clean" air. I haven't the slightest idea at this point. Help or suggestions anyone?
