The pipe that goes from the master cylinder to the tee piece that splits and goes to each front wheel is where it needs to be m8

 

so from master cyl to line lock inlet and then line lock outlet to tee piece

[Twinkle]

cheers m8 but which is inlet and outlet though kev? its not marked

[Twinkle]

now im really confused as my servo has two outlets for the front and one for the back

[Twinkle]

can anyone help on this as i want to finish the brakes completly tomorrow

[flyingbanana]

if your master has 2 outlets one goes to the back wheels then the other goes to the front

 

add inlet side of the line lock stright to the master , then connect the outlet pipe of the line lock to the t peice which then splits the brakes to both front wheels

[Twinkle]

the master has 3 outlets, one to each of the fromts and then one to the rear

[flyingbanana]

mine has 3 has well.....i just blocked one of them off with a bleed nipple

[meXEco]

You'd probably have to tee the front 2 together, then feed this to linelock-then tee off again to 2 fronts. Bit arse about face but seems the only logical way to do it.

[caprinerd]

just block one off ive done a few line locks and as Mr D says use a blead nipple or even a bolt with either thread lock or P.T.F.E tape

[Twinkle]

cheers guys will blank one off

any idea which would be the inlet on the linelock? its not marked

[Tom]

[caprinerd]

when you fit a line lock its upto you what ever feels best.where its mounted what angle you have it which way round you have the lock unit

its like a seat m8 every one has there own position

I used 2 saddles for 20mm conduit (Electricians stuff). Get plastic ones from B&Q then screw them straight into the side of the gearbox tunnel holding the 2 circular bits of the lever line lock - rock solid

Line locks are for slick wearing dragsters . If you can't do a burnout without one then driving lessons are available

i can do one no problem but as its nursey's car its all gonna be a learning curve and i just want to make life a little bit easier for her

I take it they work by you pressing pedal to get brakes on then turning on line lock which keeps the pressure in the pipe to the calipers?

 

Just so I can work out where to put mine...
