Line Lock Install
After spending a couple of Saturdays at the track doing the tap dance from the clutch to the brake in the burn out box, I decided it was time for a line lock. I'm apprehensive about too many aftermarket electronic gizmos affecting major vehicle systems, so I had been putting this one off so I could do some research. I ended up deciding on the Hurst line lock due to the quality of the solenoid and stainless lines. The solenoid even has a heat sink as it's mounting surface. Having said that the electrical connections and mounting hardware are junk and should be replaced with quality parts.
I went a bit further than some folks might in my install to keep everything as OEM as possible while at the same time offering a level of safety with the unit. The last thing I wanted was some chance for the line lock to engage during normal street driving unexpectedly.
