Line lock installation w/pics (no ABS)
Here's my line lock installation without ABS. I reused most of the factory lines or I could have made the plumbing somewhat cleaner.

Here's with just the ABS removed and no line lock using factory lines.

I have the Hurst line lock. I chose this one because I felt the stainless steel body and aluminum holding bracket was top quality. I'm sure there are others that are equal. It did come with an indicator light which is a must and a cheezy switch with I replaced with a switch of my preference. Didn't want to mount it on the adjustable steering wheel lever. I have it mounted in my console. If anybody wants to see those pics email me.
I have only tried it in the driveway but it does get the job done.

Cleans up the engine bay and removes some weight doesn't it.
I am hoping that that fitting adapters aren't compression fittings using ferrules. Compression fittings w/ferrules are not meant for a fluid braking system w/high pressures and vibration. This is why you'll NEVER see them on a fluid based automobile system.
Fluid automobile braking systems generally use either double flare or bubble flare. A proportioning valve may have been a good investment for you also.

I did some research to find the correct brake fittings without success. I then decided to go with what I knew would work.

Here's a link to a pic: http://store.summitracing.com/defaul...h.asp?N=400134
I also like the fact that they have three discharge ports. Makes plumbing easier too. I used two holes and plugged one. Other solenoids may have the same options but I don't know for sure.
