Id be interested to know a ballpark price for the line locker and instructions. Ive looked at one of these, but found that i needed two units because something about the brake lines crossing over as a safety feature. I didnt explain that very well, but maybe you'll know what i mean.

Shaun.

unsure of exactly what you mean. there is no point in the line where the brake line for the rear of the car is single?

if not i may be able to look into a way of bringing the two lines into one close to the master cylinder and then split off again. its that or 2 lockers. haha

^^^^^^+ 1 for above.

Im assuming these aren't legal for a road car? Are there any safety concerns? Im pretty interested though.

Shaun

correct. offroad use only. like most products that mess with brake system - bias adjusters, etc. no safety concerns though. unless you leave it on whilst driving - having no back brakes and thus much worse braking ability.

Keen - details please

what else would you like to know?

Yeah, im keen for those prices.

I'd like some instructions on how to do it though.

Shaun.

i will supply instructions with the kit. but it is fairly straight forward, you can even get your local brake place to install them.

i now have them in stock ready to go

Yeah, i find it difficult to explain, but i just know that i had a look at a line lock kit previously, and found that i needed two kits in order to make it work. Im not saying that im 100% correct, but i wouldnt mind confirmation that you definately only need one and where the kit is best installed. Also, do the hard lines have to be flared? As soon as i know these things, ill transfer the money!

Can anyone shed some light?

Thanks,

Shaun.

Do you have any pics of the kit?

Interested in knowing what / how to fit it all up as well.

Cheers champ.

no pics currently but will have another camera on Monday.

basic rundown of installation is this.

1. using pipe cuter - cut rear brake line appropriate to the line locker.

2. put brass fittings on each end of brake line

3. using a double flare tool - flare both ends of the brake line

4. screw brass adaptors into line locker

5. screw the brake lines into the brass adaptors.

6. tighten up all fittings and tek-screw or similar solenoid to body.

7. bleed brakes and check for any leaks, etc once pedal feel is 'normal'

8. run 1 wire to earth and run the other one to a switch and then to +12v

yes, the two brake lines have to be flared. pm sent RE: 2 kits or a crossover system.

I just got under my car and there is only one line going from the brake booster to the rear. It then splits to each rear wheel via a distribution block, so i suppose you'd just install it in the single line before the distribution block. Its a very small diameter line though, so it would be pretty difficult to flare, but certainly possible. Ill include a pic of the distribution block. Note the single line going into the block, then the two other lines going to each rear wheel.
