Can I use a line lock as a parking brake? I would only use it when the engine is running for warm up on my steep driveway....And the occasional smokey burnout....Only on private property though eyes
Didn't know if those solenoids start getting hot after long periods?
Thoughts?
Have a nice effin day :)

Use a manual line lock . Forget the wiring.

X2 on using a manual. The elc would be pulling a butt load of voltage. Would not be as reliable either.

Some people will bad mouth the manual locks. IMO ,they are just not smart enough to use them correctly. ;) ;) Manual locks are nearly issue proof.

Manual lock something like this? Simple enough and easy on the wallet!

bingo. I'll be using similar with this torque converter Fortin -no park provision- so I'll need one no matter what.

You do understand that to release you push the release and then reapply the brakes harder than set or they do not release? Just pushing the button will not do it. I think that is why some have issues with them. They just don't operate them correctly,IMO. I've never had problems with them on bigger trucks.

One of those my have saved me from getting ridden by the redheaded whore!!!!

it's hard to forget after being in that spot :u

the fear does slowing leave gg:

I don't have fear of doing it again. But I am aware of things that could prevent it.

or just add one or two of these. i had one of those line locks and they did good on flat ground but push the pedal to hard and lock and i couldn't push it hard enough to release it. only happened twice out of quite a few use's and a cheap empi part back then but the only way i could get it to release was to break the line fitting. now a better quality part would've been better i am sure but these mechanical one's look pretty fool proof to me. they offer them in right and left too. i don't see why you couldn't make a disc to bolt on behind you input sprocket to the box for this use. just a thought

Those little line locks they sell are very low quality. A regular ball valve works much better. Put in 2 for front rear separation. That way if you loose a line you can cut off that end and still have decent brakes if you are running a balance bar set-up.

can you post a link?

Most are only around 600psi. The one posted is 3600 psi rated. I would not use any rated less than 2500 psi. Depending on your setup you will see around 1000 psi minimum in panic stop to upwards of 1500-1800 quite possible.

nice and simple too!

1/4"NPT is a little large, 1/8" is perfect.

Just using it as an example for DS to see what type valve you were talking about. Make sure it is a full port design, as you show , or the internal passage will be more like 1/16" .
