Looks complete to me. My dad and I both just bought line-lock kits to put on our cars as well...........except we got the B&M kits, and they don't supply the intermediate brake line like that SLP kit does.

If I understand the principle of a line lock. If you accidentally flip the switch during normal driving, you won't have front brakes, right?

That would be correct. That's why many people install a "master" arm switch and a bright pilot light, to prevent accidental activation of the line lock when you aren't racing. The Thunder Racing kit comes with all these parts, a relay and a wiring harness to make it easier to hook up.

Injuneer is correct as it is important to have the additional components added to the circuit.

We make all our kits with additional components to prevent accidental deployment of the solenoid.

Not only is it a safety issue but can prolong the life of the solenoid as if you accidently activate the line lock for prolonged periods of time, you can burn them up in about 60 seconds!

There a whole bunch of good pictures located at click me

Hope this helps,

Steve

That's why mine is hooked to a momentary button that is not easily accidently reachable. I have to purposely reach forward and hold the button in to engage the lock.
