   Well thats a vacuum that makes the brakes use the servo, retract etc. Im not 100% sure how a servo works but you need it on or the brakes will be dangerous! lol.

   THe black pipe into the big round black thing behind the fluid reservoir is where you need to plumb in.

   Its a bit of vacum hosing that attaches somewhere on the inlet manifold. Its for when you lift off the throttle the vacum decreses and a diaphram moves in the servo which allows bigger pressure to be applied to the brakes. I think thats the genral idea. So i guess attach the hose to somewhere that uses vacum hosing?
