Fitting of line lock and pipe identification


Shane

Recommended Posts

I am about to fit my line lock, which of the two pipes from the Master cylinder is the front brake feed, the one at the front or the one at the rear? Normally I would trace them, but have ABS on this car so its not quite as simple. Also, when I use the line lock, I assume I will need to pull the power feed to the ABS circuit?

 

Thanks

Before I removed the pump I was just running without the ABS fuse fitted.

 

When you want to use the line lock what about just having an extra switch that knocks off the power to the ABS, or even better, if the actuator for the line lock is electrical just have a relay in the circuit that, once the line lock is energised, knocks off the power to the ABS.

Yeah that's the way I will most likely go, I intend to use a latching relay set up for the line lock, so should be able to include something in to disable the abs too.

Sorry for pulling up an old thread but I am fitting a Line Lock and wanted to do some research.

 

I am gonna hook it up in reverse on the rear calipers. It's a single solenoid kit so I will be fitting it to the master cylinder (that would be the rear brakeline right?) meaning I will be engaging it prior to applying brakes and block fluid to the rear calipers while using front brakes.

 

I was reading up on ABS system and also on this thread it was recommended to put in a relay for the ABS power but I was wondering if that is really neccessary? If I do a doublefooted burnout now with traction control off, ABS light does not come on nor am I having any "ABS-stuttering". Line Lock or no Line Lock, wouldn't this be the same scenario? Front tires standing still while rear are turning? I guess the question is; if traction control is turned off via the "Slip Off" button, is also the ABS turned off?

 

Thanks for answers so I'll know how to plan for the electrical before trial-and-error :-)
