Can you use a line-lock as a parking brake?

Do not use an electrical type “line-lock” for a parking brake. These type line-locks are normally open and powered in the closed position, which is exactly what you want for a line-lock. I have two line-locks, one for the front brakes and one for the clutch release and both work great for those applications.

Does line-lock go before or after proportioning valve?

Meaning you hit the line ock before you step on the breaks this will prevent the rear brakes from getting pressure and lock the front brakes. Now if you are going to put in on he front brake line, I have always put it after the prop valve only because there’s more room and easier access.

How does a Transbrake work on a drag car?

Does doing a burnout ruin your brakes?

If it’s a brief burnout, simple light application of the brakes is enough, as the engine torque will be enough to break the rear wheels loose but not enough to overpower the front brakes.

What is the purpose of a line lock?

A line-lock allows you to lock the front brakes independently of the rear brakes, so the car stays put while the tires smolder. The device is basically an electric solenoid, controlled by a switch on the shifter. With the brakes applied, the driver depresses and holds the switch, then releases the brake pedal.

How does a line lock work in a burnout?

A line-lock makes the burnout process simpler and removes one of the variables from the process. By holding the pressure in the non-driven-wheel brake circuit, the driver can concentrate on the rest of the process without stomping on the brakes and adding that additional variable.

What does line lock and roll control mean?

A line lock, also known as roll control, roll stop, brake control, anti-roll, and launch control, is a remotely-controlled, driver-activated electric solenoid valve that is plumbed into the hydraulic brake system to allow the front and rear brakes to be controlled independently.

How does a brake line lock work on a car?

Once installed, to activate the line lock just pump the brake pedal several times to build up line pressure, and press the switch. The solenoid valve will maintain pressure in the front brake lines to keep the front brakes engaged when the brake pedal is released, maintaining the vehicle’s position.

How does line lock work on a dragstrip?

One of the essential components to a successful pass down the dragstrip is starting-line grip, which is best achieved after performing a burnout on a rear (or front) tire, depending on your vehicle’s drive configuration. The activated line-lock closes off the brake circuit and locks the wheels at the vehicle’s non-drive-end.
