Anyone using a line lock (roll control) on a C5?
I'm interested in getting a linelock for my Z06, but I don't know which one to get. If you have one, please post which make and model you are using, where you bought it from, rough cost, and what's involved in the install.
TIA. :cheers:

Not for a c5 (my f-body) but I've used the Hurst Roll control and made my own brake lines to route to the ABS module. I ditched the wiring that came with it and used my own relay, status LED, wires, and switch.

I have the TCI also. It was installed by the Vette Doctors in NY. It took about an hour and a half to install. The unit cost about $100 and the switch (hurtzs switch) cost about $30.
If you are looking to install yourself, you need a special double flaring tool for the brake lines. Finding the fittings you need is not too easy either.

Re: Anyone using a line lock (REDGAR)
Thanks for all the help guys. :D
How difficult is the install? Is it something that could/should be attempted by a novice. Any pics?
Is there anyone in the SF Bay Area that has one?
Thanks. :cool:

I forget which one but it is marked on the master cylinder with a F for front and R for rear. You lock the front

Al, thanks for the cool pix.

Rod, I sent you email.
A line lock is a device used to stop either the front or rear wheels turning whilst leaving the other set (the drive wheels) free to move.
It is used by drag racers for burnouts and stop hold the car on the line after staging.
Hope this helps. :D
