Convert vaccum ball to a Brake vaccum can???

Do you guys think it is possible to convert the black vaccum ball to a vaccum can for the brake booster?

Would it work if I drilled two holes, one with a brake booster valve and the other with a regular fitting. Then hook it up like a vaccum canister?

I know I can pick one up from jegs for $31, but the vaccum ball already has a good hidden mount.

What do you guys think?

please refer to it as "the orb of power!!!!!"




but yea, as long as you dont crack it when putting the fittings in, it'll work... just be careful.. it cracks very easily.

I did kinda notice it glowing the other night.

I think I will try it.

Thanks.

I was wondering about that myself, I think I'll give it a shot too.
