I don't know of any links but I could put some picts of mine.
All you can see or what in particular?
The vac can is mounted to a C shaped hingey thing.
Theres a door switch.
The vac controller.
Mine works so never got into the guts of it.
You might try a catalog since they usually do blow apart drawings to show you how to spend money

The ONE part I am aware of that is not available except at super high cost is the electric/vacuum solenoid under/in back of the tach it is the interface between the electric switch and the vacuum switching source to supply the vacuum relay under the fender...
IF that electric/vac solenoid is not under there you better off to just do an electric solenoid/linear motor to actuate the door...much simpler....

You've got mail.
The stuff under the hood is pretty simple. If the E-mail don't work I'll send the pictures individually. Kind of large.
I don't know the hosing stuff but that might come with a hose kit or should be in one of the trouble shooting threads.
If the door switch can't be bought you can rig something up. Its just a safety to tell the motor when the door is fully open.
