I got the Line Lock kit itself on sale at Year One for $102 and the installition kit from a non sponsor for $25. Installition kit is a waste of money/rip off! All you need to do is go to NAPA or local auto store and get (1) 3/16 x 20" brake line and (1) 3/16 x 10" brake line and get some fittings and plugs. I had to go to the part store twice because the kit didn't have what I needed.
Custom bending the line is a task, but fun though. You can buy pre bent lines if you want. But it will make you put the solenoid in one place I dont like.

Get a Mini Vac bleeder from Autozone, makes it a one man job and gets every bit of air out! This is the best my brakes have ever felt!

My bad its called the Mighty Vac, sorry
May want to get some 500 degree primer for calipers too, I put it on mine, will keep the paint from flaking. I did primer, 4 coats of paint, clear coat.
What line lock did you get?

I got the same as you, the hurst roll control. I got the pre-bent lines from thunder racing tho. I found the "one man bleeder" @ advanced yesterday along with the 1200 degree high temp paint. I want to wire the line lock to a window switch and mount it next to my "top" switch to make it look sort-of stock like. I've got the cover, but the switch is being tested at DMH performance to make sure it will work with the dual electric cutouts. Did you mount the switch yet?
Where did you mount it at? Ashtray like everyone else?

I can't wait to get a line lock...Trying to heat DRs on an M6 car without one just feels like it's stressing the hell outta the drive train. I know my clutch sure didn't like it.

Guys i just got mine installed a few weeks ago and i just didnt know what a proper burnout felt like. Im sure doing the burnouts without one is the reason my clutch is going out. I have left burnouts over 60' long with ease, although my nittos are about gone now so i have to ease up a little bit.

Hey Mike, I got a Hurst Snap Action coil switch, a pic is on my Webshots pag too. I like the look of it. Easier for me to just drop it and go, rather than reaching to hold a switch .

Yeah, I think that'll be bought for a break job that requires bleeding. Or it might make a good holiday/birthday present. (Tool collection is starting to grow )
