Line lock confusion????
I purchased the Hurst line lock, and am getting ready for the install. I have checked the archives in CF and seen many pictures but my set-up is different. I don't see the unit under the master cylinder. My line goes from the Master cylinder directly to a box between the motor and radiator. I assume this is ABS or A/H or both??? Where does the line lock go, between where??? :confused: :confused:
I have A4 02 Coupe if this helps.

Re: Line lock confusion???? (C5Coupe)
the line lock and associated piping replaces the forward line running from the proportioning valve to the ABS block, reardless of the type of Line Lock (Hurst or TCI) :cheers:
lemme see if I can dig up a pic I took :cheers:

Re: Line lock confusion???? (Flyin'Brian)
Am I missing something? I do not have a proportioning valve under the Master Cylinder. The lines go directly from the MC to the box between the motor and radiator.... I am assuming this box is the ABS/AH????
Did something change in the 02. :smash:
Anyone familiar with what I am looking at? :confused:

Re: Line lock confusion???? (Mean Green 2000)
Okay I have pictues..... how do I post. I can email if anyone is interested?
I guess my situation is that the proportioning valve is not there. Or has it been moved elsewhere and I don't see it????

Re: Line lock confusion???? (C5Coupe)
Okay I figured it out...... how to post pictures.
This assume is the ABS/AH?? Is it one unit?
This is the master cylinder, and notice no proportioning valve under it. So where is it?
Which line do I cut into for the line lock?

Sent you an e-mail. I have done a couple, and can probably help with the differences in the brake systems & fittings.

Re: Line lock confusion???? (Mag Red Monster)
I would guess the proportioning valve must be in the AB/AH unit. On mine the front brake line comes out of the rear of the Master cyl. You need to make sure you get the line that goes to the front, but your AB/AH unit looks different than mine. Maybe someone can check the service manual. I would not cut the stock line(save it to go back to stock), but buy two new 3/16 steel lines with 3/8 inverted flare fittings on each end(or get the kit from summit), then buy two adapters to convert 3/8 inverted flare to 12mm Bubble Flare.
Here's some part #s:
ADAPTER STANDARD TO METRIC BUBBLE
Female Inverted Flare Seat 3/16" (3/8-24 thread)
Male Bubble Flare 12-1.0MM
Edelmann #265000
Everco #3014
Weatherhead #7974
I used the Edelman #265000, I found them at a local Garnett auto supply.
Good luck
:)

Re: Line lock confusion???? (Flyin'Brian)
The linelock goes between the MC and the ABS/AH unit. I bought the weatherhead 7974 from NAPA, and brake lines, sounds like I can get started. Thanks for the help everyone. I don't know if I will start today or Sunday afternoon, I will post results. :cheers: :cheers:

Re: Line lock confusion???? (Flyin'Brian)
My '99 'vette has the Active Handling upgrade on it. Does that upgraded system change the braking layout in such a way that a Hurst Roll Control line lock wouldn't work in my application? I need one terribly bad.
