oh one thing i forgot to say. if your car is like mine you'll run into a problem getting the factory flare nuts on the brake line to thread into the ling lock parts. i had to run new lines for the front brakes so i could use the line lock. the plus side is my brake lines are neater and cleaner looking now that i rerouted them.

I had very bad luck with the B&M one. It would just not hold the car back at all. The Hurst one is superior in my opinion. You probably will run into a problem with the threads matching up though because one is standard and one is metric. However, I remember seeing a kit from Mr. Gasket that solved that problem.

I personally just refitted the existing lines with the different fittings and reflared. Looks good though.

Good luck

Steve
