Belt Driven Vacuum
I have a complete belt driven vacuum pump kit. It was removed serviceable. I'd like to sell it but I'm really not sure what it's worth. Anyone have an idea?

Re: Belt Driven Vacuum
I have an opinion. (But you don't really want to hear it.) 
It may be very valuable to someone who already has this mod, and wants spare parts. Used parts that are serviceable usually carry prices about one-half of new, and new pumps are about $500. (Of course, this particular pump is no longer available...so anyone who already has it might feel compelled to make you an offer.)

Re: Belt Driven Vacuum
Another consideration concerning the belt driven vacuum system is the STC. Is it serial number specific to the airplane or engine ?

Re: Belt Driven Vacuum
The only reason I didn't install this mod a long time ago is the necessity to modify the nose bowl.
