Line lock install problem Hi guys, I searched and came up empty handed.
I was installing a TCI roll stop line lock kit today and I am having trouble getting the brakes to hold.
The only way the front brakes will stay locked is if I keep the micro switch held down. As soon as I release the button the front wheels will turn.
I was also wondering if this switch setup is NHRA legal. Is the switch I have considered to be a momentary switch?
Thanks in advance,
Dave Hounsell

Maybe I'm missing the ?? Sounds like you answered it yourself. The switch that comes with a kit is always momentary.
The tires will roll when released.
I set mine by pumping 3 times holding the pedal & holding the switch. I have seen some guys not push hard enough before switching on. Which lets the tire roll. Sorry if I'm not getting it.

Thanks for the info and the reply.
You are correct! After doing a bit more searching I figured out that the button needs to be depressed and held. I always thought that the momentary switch would give you a few seconds to do a burnout and then release without having to be held. Live and learn I guess. I feel pretty stupid!!
