Re: Line Lock Help (KerryH)
I'm not too sure that there is a "kit". Although there could be by now. You may just have to go to a parts store and figure out the fittings needed. A "standard" Hurst line-loc is machined for double flared lines. The GM lines are bubble flare lines. You might consider getting a new GM line from someone like Fitchner Chevrolet and then cutting it as needed so that you keep the bubble flares on the GM side of the lines. You can then add double flares on the line-loc ends of the brake line with new double flare fittings attached. If you are careful enough not to get air into the abs, you might even get by just bleeding from the abs back to the master cyl.
