Default Line Locks -- Going to start taking orders again

I'm just over a week from returning home, and have decided to start taking orders for line locks again. Estimate ship dates will be the week of May 26th. Any orders between now and friday next week will be completed over Memorial Day weekend and shipped ASAP the following week.

Currently I have one on the block, and have plenty of room for extras. I've got a good adapter supplier finally so I should have no problem keeping parts stock on hand.

www.c5linelocks.fastbird93.com

And some better news: You 97-98 guys with the rear mounted ABS pump.....your end may be in sight. I should be getting with a local member over Memorial Day weekend, and I have an idea that I think just may work like a champ.

Other stuff? I should be soon releasing an option for the line lock kits, an ash-tray replacing panel for clean mounting of the activation switch.

Also, look for some other products and a totally new web page to be coming from me here around the end of the month.

Thanks everyone!!!!

You know it! Thanks Steve, although I can't officially say WHAT that freaking combination block is for.

Between you and Don, I have yet to have a hiccup out of my car. It's been absolutely wonderful to drive and thrash on. Really top notch work you guys did.

The actual lines and solenoid should only take about 30 minutes tops. But then you have to bleed the brakes and do the electrical side of things. I'd say that two to three hours should suffice if you are familiar with bleeding the brakes and running wires into the inside of the car.

Stay tuned then. I've got it mapped out how I'd like to see it unfold and have the one big contingency I can forsee already planned for. If everything unfolds right, I should be able to bring a kit to market ready to sell by mid June at the latest. I'm actually very excited to get a chance to try to make this happen.

I'll be interested in the replacement ashtray panel so I don't have to figure one out for myself. Keep up the good work!

I'm expecting to have those available in the VERY near future as an add-on option for the line lock kits. I'm actually going to be launching a new website this weekend with everything listed.

A plug and bump for a great product. I've had mine for a while. Easy install and works great.

Make sure you plug off those two open ports in the solenoid Didn't see it in the directions (may have missed it) and didn't think about it until everything else was installed. Tight fit to get the lower one in and snugged up.
