Line lock, what do i need?
Ok, i want to set up a line lock system for the front brakes - and need to know what parts i need. It requires a solenoid valve, couplers to interrupt the brake line off the master cylinder if there is room, and wire and a switch to flip it on or not..
this way, when in the bleach box ( burnout box) at the track, you press the brake pedal to floor, flip a switch, let go, and your front brakes are locked on, no rear.. do your burnout, warm the tires, flip the switch, and ready to race.. this makes it much easier on your drivetrain..
all who know anything about this, please answer, and give pointers on setup location, parts etc.. thanks

The problem is, the front brake lines are separate all the way to the master cylinder.
That means, you either need two line locks, or you need to plug one of the front brake outlets on the master cylinder, run the other line to the line lock, then run a T from the line lock to send the fluid to both brakes.
If that's not tricky enough, you have to do this AFTER the proportioning valve. Fortunately, only one of the front brake lines goes to the proportioning valve, so your work is at least clear-cut now - you need to put the line lock in the right brake line downstream of the prop valve, then run a T after the line lock to the left brake, and plug off the master cylinder where the left brake used to get its feed.
NOTE - I have not done this yet - I am perfectly happy with three pedaling my burnouts (no "stomp the brake AFTER starting the burnout" for me - that just looks so cheesy IMO) but this is a subject I've given a long hard look to, and probably will do someday.
