Thought this post totally worthy of an update to say the least a 'Mammoth' nut & bolt restoration. The car is now located in Ireland. After purchasing from Dave (Inox) I intend to take it over the finish line.
The car is now running , started straight up :thumbsup: .... just a tidy up of the wiring before the interior goes back together. A more detailed description of this Nut & Bolt Resto can be found on the Delorean Ireland Forum.

I have one of these if you need it, as I'm sure your aware it's a Vacuum pump for the brake servo. It's been sitting in my garage for years

Super ...Thanks for the offer & the kind comments :thumbsup:

I have a spare one too in the garage :D .... I think the vacuum pump is a good addition to the D should make the brakes more punchy.

I maybe calling on the help of you guys as there are 'lots' of interior trim & door trim missing , no doubt someone has something thrown in the corner of the garage ... likewise if anyone needs a part would be glad to help out.

Both my 760s had the vac pump. Never thought about actually using it on the delorean though.

This come off of Tysons 760 that is now in James RG's car. Unfortunately I think I have scrapped the rocker cover that it bolts to as it has a hole in it, but the cam has the lob on it ready for a vac pump to be fitted. It would be interesting if it made any difference to the brakes on a D. The best brakes on a Delorean that I have ever driven was Dan Shanes old one, the brakes were spot on!!! But saying that my I pretty punctual now after a few tweeks here and there
