    Scooper, never saw anyone mount above the master cylinder,,, any strange effects or after sitting for a bit do you have to pump pedal up??

    Also on mounting line lock, keep lines an wiring away from heat!

    It isn't mounted as high as it looks. It is pretty much even with it, and it must be an optical illusion or camera angle making it look higher. No problems, ever, with it.

    comet666, you stomp the brakes, then hit a button inside the car, and let off the brakes. The line lock holds the brake fluid on the front brakes, but the rear tires are no longer braked and can roll freely. So while you hold the button, front tires locked with brakes on, stomp the gas and the rear tires light right up. Used for heating the tires at the track or just for a smoke show on the street.

    Otherwise, you have to hold the brake and force the rear tires to turn against the brakes, which isn't too good for the brake shoes, drums, etc.

    You should always mount the line lock after the flow control valve.
    You can make bleeding the system a lot easier if there is a bleed point above the master cylinder.
