Line lock install complete - pics inside

[Skinny]

Well it took pretty much all day because I had to track down some tools and fittings. Found the tools I needed but ended up having to reuse the original flare fitting for the master cylinder and combination valve (these are two different size fittings on the same brake line... what the heck's up with that!?!?).
The install was fairly easy. Removed one of the lines coming out of the master cylinder (the one closest to the rear), then ran a new line from the master cylinder to the line lock solenoid, then another line from the solenoid to the combination valve. Anyway, I took a few pics of the install:

Solenoid, front view
Solenoid, side/top view
Master cylinder w/ new line
Combination valve, top

I think in order to pass a tech inspection, NHRA rules require that a line lock be located after the combination valve, but I never get "inspected" persay, so I don't think I have anyting to worry about. I'll move it if I ever fail a tech inspection because of it.

thats too cool. i have always wanted a line lock and i see you didnt even buy a kit. i am too stoopid to try and install one myself, but seeing you did it with the parts you did, i know what to give my mechanic. me and my mechanic have this deal - i buy parts and give him money; he installs them :rolleyes:

In fact, since the lines I bent for this won't fit the new Trans Am I'm getting very soon, We can actually just use them for you if ya want. :D
