Brake line lock

[NJV6]

I have seen a thingie that goes in the brake line to use as a hand brake, got a button on top you can lift up and lick the fluid line.

ANyone know what I am on about and where to get one?

couple of trials guys use some sort of valve for a handbrake

put foot on brake and turn valve to block line, fluid stays in line keeps brakes locked, release valve brakes unlock

simple as, but highly illegal for street vehicles as you probably know anyways

one thing I do know is they tried cheap valves and they didnt last, ended up with $150 jobbies from enzed or someone similar

Line locker available from BnT or Silvesters in Chch made by B&M about $150

was just thinking about this an hour ago. not impressed with the $150 bit tho. Does that incluede the full lever and pipe fittings

[DJ]

do you one that works or a cheap one that may work?? cant have both you choise....
Its possible to make one out of a rear bias valve eg surf /hi lux but by the time you have mucked around its cheaper and faster to buy one made for the job

i'm using this...

put it in line on way to rear brakes..

hold foot on brake and press to activate liquid lock, just press foot brake pedal to unlock..

p.s.. the 2 holes ya see are the mounting holes.. the brake lines are on the sides inline with the labelling..

so nibz = teh sexy?

cheers for the hook up callum.. its easy as to install, no need for the electrics either..

K.I.S.S theory. keep it simple rex. no, keep it rex stupid, wait..

well, you get the idea..

Oooh like that electric one as dont even have to bring pipes inside cab. then again it is a hand brake so maybe keep it simple would be better. Have a disk break conversion on a lux with no hand brake as yet so think this is the go
