Line Loc?
or roll control...
I was looking at getting the Hurst Line Loc and then I noticed that they all say "Not for use on cars with ABS brakes". :confused:
Is there a different model or does everybody just use it anyway? Does it cause any problems?

Re: Line Loc? (rcolling)
Don't worry about it, I think it's just a disclaimer in case something happens.
We(the E-Town boys) all have ABS and the Hurst Line Loc(well most of us anyway).
It comes down to this. When the Line Loc is engaged, your foot is off the brake pedal.
So the front brakes are pressurized by the solenoid, therefore the computer doesn't sense the brakes are being used because your foot is off the brake pedal.
That's my theory anyway.

Re: Line Loc? (LPDesRoche)
the only thing I would be interested in is how the computer deals with the difference in wheel speeds???
I guess it must not care. turn off the ASR and go to town.
ABS does not engage below about 20mph.

Eric, you need a double flaring tool, that's the only special tool.
I cut into the front brake line, flared and connected the solenoid and that's it, of course except for the wiring.

Re: Line Loc? (silver & red CE)
The switch on both my cars is mounted to the shifter on the outside of the boot, it's held on with zip ties, not pretty, but functional. Some guys just leave some extra length of wire and keep the switch in the ashtray till they want to use it.

Re: Line Loc? (RedRyder)
Yeah, I bought the Hurst installation kit, it comes with a bunch of plugs and fittings and brake lines.
Mr Mojo, I also have a Hurst LL to install. Can you help me with what the two side ports are for if I am not using the brake light control? Do I just plug up the side holes?
