Correct me if I'm wrong but that is a proportioning valve not a line lock.

I just completed the abs delete and im having issues trying to bleed the system. I have a very spongy pedal. sometimes it will grab sometimes its sluggish.

You should consider putting loops in the brake line to eliminate the risk of stress cracks forming over time in the tubing.

put the nut on the line before you flare that line for the rear brakes

but no really man it looks good, im in the middle of doing it and i wish i would've built it myself instead of getting the SJM kit.

When I did the SJM kit on my car I had to actually bleed the fronts first and then move to the rear, I did it reverse of what you are supposed to and then did it again the right way (starting at P. Rear).
The second time on the same car I did it the 'right' way after the whole system had been open for a year or more and it all worked....car stops good now!

hey guys, i'm searching trying to solve a braking problem. I also have the SJM abs delete with the proportioning valve and the linelock. I've replaced the master cylinder, bench bled it correctly, bled the brakes several times, no bubbles left yet my pedal is still spongy. Am i missing something obvious here either with the line lock or the proportioning valve? my brother and i have bled that car at least three times now, i'm really surprised it still this spongy. I have to pump it twice before i feel pressure to actually stop the car.
