I bought a Hurst line loc and an install kit from Thunder Racing. The problem is, I cant get either brake line to get tight or stop leaking on the valve. Has anyone else had this problem? I don`t know if the fittings are wrong or is there something I don`t know.

did you buy the install kit? the reason i ask is there are brass fittings in the kit to adapt the flare fitting to a straight pipr thread.

 

might try some teflon tape. Don't know if you are supposed to use that stuff on brake lines, but it is worth a shot i guess.

 

Use teflon tape on the threads make sure to put it in the same direction as you screw it in and also watch you don't plug off the hole or get any in the lines. Good luck!

Oh crap, I did get the install kit and there was extra fittings in there. Thanks, now I feel stupid!

 

How much was everything after shipping?

 

Just hope you did not ruin any fittings or you will feel more stupid.

 

Does anyone here have a picture of how they hooked it up in an LT1 CAR.....I seen the pics that come with it but you really can see exactly which like goes where on the line loc itself....I have seen them hooked up both on the top 2 holes and some with one of the top holes used as well as the one on the front....What did you guys do???

 

dunno how to make it appear as a pic yet in this forum, sorry.

 

Home made lines, not the TR install kit, but you get the idea:

Line Lock #1

Line Lock #2

 

SLP line lock .Complete kit $139 shipped. All lines fit perfect .

I guess my picture didn't really help any, whoops. Thats a pic off of my cousins car, there is a line loc on there but you can't really see it, i thought the stock brake stuff was part of it.

some other people have their act together a lil more!
