Hello Howard, The oil line with the T piece is outlet oil from the bypass filter and is at a pretty low pressure( maybe 10psi?) I would expect that with the small supply orifice, the Vane vacuum pump would be in no danger of damage. I fed the extracted oil/vacuumed air return line into the filler cap as it is handy and seemed a logical place to put it. I used a small in line cock fitting to divert a small fraction of the vacuum to extract any bell housing oil leakage. There was a port to fit a vacuum gauge so I did so. The vane pump generates reasonable vacuum and works the wipers well under all conditions. A few more pics of the RHD Patrician (still with Treadlevac brakes)
