line locks

Chris · 03-22-2010, 02:55 PM

Every now and again i do big burnouts at shows and i know its not good to powerbrake till the tires blow so I was wondering if anyone has installed a line lock or has any suggestions

I have a Hurst line lock on my el camino. Very effective, easy install.

Chris · 03-22-2010, 03:02 PM

what all goes into installing one havent really looked into them to hard

It's basically an electric solenoid that you install in the front brake lines, then wire up a switch in the cab somewhere. Flip the switch, and it locks the front brakes down. You will probably need a flaring tool for the brake lines, but it's a very easy install. Took me maybe 2 hours to do the camino.

When you're searching around, remember that some of the old school companies (Hurst, B & M, etc.) call it a roll control instead of a line lock.

i asked about this awhile back and everyone just gave me shit......they told me it was just a waste and to put it on a real vehicle.....but i think it would be cool to have one..

I hope you have a good differential otherwise it is gonna break real fast cause mine just broke cause of burnouts.

I had a G80 locker and 3.73 gears and I split the carrier clean in half

me too. but you should see his destruction!!

xronx · 07-31-2010, 04:57 AM

you said it was crappy and underbuilt... but anyways i plan on doin a line lock..but i dont like how you apply the brakes then click it, and it holds the front...what i want to do is click it, and have it block the rear brakes...do i can control the amount of front brake force , so i can creep n burn at the track or red light...
