Id be interested to know a ballpark price for the line locker and instructions. Ive looked at one of these, but found that i needed two units because something about the brake lines crossing over as a safety feature. I didnt explain that very well, but maybe you'll know what i mean.

Shaun.

unsure of exactly what you mean. there is no point in the line where the brake line for the rear of the car is single?

if not i may be able to look into a way of bringing the two lines into one close to the master cylinder and then split off again. its that or 2 lockers. haha

^^^^^^+ 1 for above.

Im assuming these aren't legal for a road car? Are there any safety concerns? Im pretty interested though.

Shaun

correct. offroad use only. like most products that mess with brake system - bias adjusters, etc. no safety concerns though. unless you leave it on whilst driving - having no back brakes and thus much worse braking ability.

Keen - details please

what else would you like to know?

Yeah, im keen for those prices.

I'd like some instructions on how to do it though.

Shaun.

i will supply instructions with the kit. but it is fairly straight forward, you can even get your local brake place to install them.

i now have them in stock ready to go

Yeah, i find it difficult to explain, but i just know that i had a look at a line lock kit previously, and found that i needed two kits in order to make it work. Im not saying that im 100% correct, but i wouldnt mind confirmation that you definately only need one and where the kit is best installed. Also, do the hard lines have to be flared? As soon as i know these things, ill transfer the money!

Can anyone shed some light?

Thanks,

Shaun.

Do you have any pics of the kit?

Interested in knowing what / how to fit it all up as well.

Cheers champ.

no pics currently but will have another camera on Monday.

basic rundown of installation is this.

1. using pipe cuter - cut rear brake line appropriate to the line locker.

2. put brass fittings on each end of brake line

3. using a double flare tool - flare both ends of the brake line

4. screw brass adaptors into line locker

5. screw the brake lines into the brass adaptors.

6. tighten up all fittings and tek-screw or similar solenoid to body.

7. bleed brakes and check for any leaks, etc once pedal feel is 'normal'

8. run 1 wire to earth and run the other one to a switch and then to +12v

yes, the two brake lines have to be flared. pm sent RE: 2 kits or a crossover system.

I just got under my car and there is only one line going from the brake booster to the rear. It then splits to each rear wheel via a distribution block, so i suppose you'd just install it in the single line before the distribution block. Its a very small diameter line though, so it would be pretty difficult to flare, but certainly possible. Ill include a pic of the distribution block. Note the single line going into the block, then the two other lines going to each rear wheel.

i should of asked what model car you had and could of answed it. (a 32 i take it) lol

it will plumb in fine.

i've got one of these sitting in my draw, plus a switch and all wiring, instructions etc. as new, never used. in brisbane if anyone wants one will sell for $80 as it's just sitting there.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
