Do any of you have experience installing front line locks? I cannot get mine to work and have a feeling I may have hooked something up wrong?

btw I have the Summit kit & installation kit

any help is much appreciated or if anyone has a diagram how the lines should go.

Thanks you guys

 

You have a V8 under the hood and you need a line lock?

 

this has absolutely nothing to do with this thread, but do all your stock gauges work with the motor? thats my only concern doing my 302 swap later.

 

in the near future I would like to get it out on the strip and it would be nice to have it

 

yes they do except the speedometer but I use a GPS for now.

 

what kit did you get from summit? part #?


i would think it would go as close to teh master cylinder as possible.

got pics?

 

Summit SUM-760000 is the part number and I will try to get pic's soon

that look like what you have? doesnt look like a complete kit in the picture and discription.


if so you'll need a new brake line.

basicly just remove the front or rear brake line (depending on how you want it set up) from the master cylinder. plug that line into teh line lock and take your new line to go from the line lock to the master cylinder.

 

yep that's the kit and I also have SUM-G3904 which is all the hard-lines and fittings.

How you described is how I have it and it will not lock it up. I will take pics of how I have it when it stops raining.

I really appreciated your help

 

here are some pics,

 

everything looks hooked up right, hydraulic wise.

do you have power @ the lock and the switch?

are you stepping on the brakes then switching it on or switching it on then the brakes? brakes 1st

and if yes to all that...

did your brake res go dry or let the fluid drip till it stopped? you may need to bench bleed your master again to get brake pressure up front.

 

I have done everything you have wrote. I still have to fully run the switch and the activation light, just for testing I grounded it out good, pushed the brakes & touched the red wire to a constant 12v and nothing?

I noticed today that the brake line that goes from the master Cylinder all the way over to the right side goes into some sort of T and one of those lines that come off the T goes to right brake, but the left one goes directly to the brake? I wonder if this might have something to do with it not working?

Thanks again

 

im not quite sure i understand that last post...

the front and rear brake lines should be seperated. (or they were on older models).

if your brakes are tied together (front n rear) you might need to buy another solinoid so you can just block the flow dierectly to the wheel.

got a pic of the other T your talking about?

what do the install instructions say?

 

I will try and get a pic of the other T. The instructions are here if you would like to see.http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=SUM-760000&N=700+115&autoview=skuhttp://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=SUM%2D760000&N=700+115&autoview=sku
