Anyone know where I can pick up a line lock for my FB? Carl

summit? jegs?



it's just an electronic solenoid actuated hydraulic valve, nothing specific to the car really.

it's a valve you put on your front brake hydraulics so you can press your brake pedal then power the solenoid so it closes the valve, lockign the pressure @ the front brakes. then you let off the brakes and your front wheels are locked, allowing you to do a burnout without having your foot on the brakes / brakes applied to the rear wheels.

Is it hard to hook up? Dont you need to tap into a brake line,etc?

1revnrex 02-28-2005 09:13 AM

they are easy to hook up, most of the time the kit ya get has all the parts ya need to hook it inline. I had one on a old Nova I had years back, fun stuff but look out for the cops and make friends at the tire shops.... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png





Edit: Sorry just saw how old this thread was.... Oh well

Since our front brakes have 2 seperate lines, one coming off of the master and the other coming off of the proportioning valve, what else is needed besides the uniersal kit, or do I need 2 solenoids?



I would like to put one on, but I want both front brakes to lock. Suggestions please.

SomeGuy_sg 03-09-2005 02:04 PM

You only need 1 solenoid . You really did not look properly huh :tisk: your brake booster has 2 lines coming off it . One to your front brakes the other to your rear . They might than go to an ABS unit ... but you can cut in before than ....

Sorry, but you need to go back and look. There are 2 lines coming out of the side of the master that go to the proportioing valve. There is a 3rd line that comes out of the bottom that goes directly to the left front brake. That is why I asked about using 2 solenoids.



To be more specific here, the brake 'booster' has one 'line' and that is a vacuume hose. The brake master cylinder has 3. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif

Just to clarify things and make sure we're on the same page, this was posted in the 1st gen section. The write up is for a 3rd gen and I don't know how similiar the 2 systems are (never played with a 3rd gen). 1st gens definately don't have ABS.

treceb 03-10-2005 09:40 AM

once you get past teh ABS removal section, the brake systems should be similar.
