pattern one i got of z power has been ok. just don't take the bowl off unless you have a hour or so to put it back together (seal had grown and was a bugger to get back together)

other than that its been fine

Steve, just been through the same dilemma with mine.

Proper vacuum replacement was c£75 and a Pingel about £90 - £100.

But bought a Z650 single outlet for about £45 :D has the same 2 bolt hole centres.

Looks better than the massive vacuum tap and cheaper to :D
