- wherein the pump housing defines at least one port that leads directly to the master cylinder and that is configured to connect the pump housing to an expansion tank such that the expansion tank is connected in a brake fluid-connecting fashion directly to the master brake cylinder,
- wherein the pump housing defines at least one additional port that is fluidly connected directly to the at least one brake conduit section, the at least one additional port being configured to connect the pump housing directly to the expansion tank such that the expansion tank is connected in a brake fluid-connecting fashion to the at least one brake conduit section via the at least one additional port,
- wherein the at least one additional port is spaced apart from the at least one port, and
- further comprising:
- a fastening element that is arranged on the pump housing and configured to positionally fixedly fasten the pump housing to the associated vehicle and to fasten the master brake cylinder within the pump housing;
- and
- at least two screws,
- wherein:
- the fastening element comprises a flat plate having at least two fastening holes configured to guide the at least two screws;
