Re: Line Lock instalation
Hmm..most set ups Ive seen with a Line loc have had the prop valve removed. But in any case, since the LL solenoid has to lock both front wheels, you'll need to mount it before the lines split for the front. So basically...if you retain the stock "combo" valve, you'll need to go from the master cylinder, to the LL, then to the combo valve, then split to the front brake calipers.
Its either that, or you have to bring the two front lines together after the combo valve, then go into the LL, then split them again...which just seems silly.
If you are going to plumb it before the combo valve, then you'll obviously need to get creative with the lines. Maybe someone can chime in with some pics for ya. Im not running a stock combo valve, so none of my pics will be of any help.
That help ya any?

Hey can you post up your pics of your LL. I am getting ready to install mine on my car. I need to know if I need to buy one of those install kits or can I just simply pick up what I need att he parts store?

Re: Line Lock instalation
However, I guess you could just cap one port on the combo valve, run one line from the MC to the valve and one from the valve to the LL?
