Back for some help.
I purchased a new 24v Alternator (Dynamo) from CruiserWorld a couple of months back.
From day one I lost brake boost at idle but a slight press on the go pedal and all was good. (I could stop)
I was just on my way back from a 3200 KLM trip and 1000K from home when the alternator stopped charging and the was no vacuum at all.
So I drove 1000k with rock hard brakes and 2 batteries going flat.
I informed CruiserWorld and was told they were having a 2 week holiday but they would check their whatsapp messages to respond to any request for help.
So far no help.
I have removed the alternator to dis-assemble the VAC unit and was surprised to find wear marks that are not central, so maybe the O ring(s) are not seating properly
I can't replace the O rings as my supplier has told me they are not available.
Can anyone advise whether the scuff marks are nornal (see pic) or is the an issue.
thanks in advance

PS any link that explains how these VAC units work would be helpful, not sure I understand how they can hold vacuum when oil passes through them back into the motor
