Hi Guys,
Has anyone bought a line lock lately as I'm sick of twisting my foot if to cover the brake and throttle, if I carry on like this i will start walking like charlie Chaplin.

You 4-Speed? Didn't know that!

I've got an el cheapo Biondo linelock from Scummit. Cheap as chips and does the job.

Fittings can be expensive though......

Bob, or should I say Charlie

I've just ordered, and received the next day, a TCI kit from Hausers. Was going to go for a Hurst or B&M (cos I knew of them) but TCI are the ones they keep in stock.
£85 + vat and incl fittings for 3/16 pipe.
$110 from TCI so not too bad.

doesnt appear to have a light tho (to say when it's on, like the Hurst one), but should be easy enough to add if needed

Got a Biondo and a TCI on the Dart. Fitted loads of Biondo units and never had problems with any of 'em.

I for the front wheels to lock them for the burnout, then switch to two (press brake, push the button linked to both linelocks locking all four wheels, then release your foot) to hold the car on the line. Poor mans trans brake. Load up the throttle then on the yellows release the button and you're gone.

One in the back line one in the front, Front one is for burnouts as usual, via another switch I can lock all four wheels whilst also engaging an MSD 2 step rev limiter with a 3800 rpm chip (convertor stall speed). In theory I should be able to sit on the line with the throttle flat to the floor, misfiring on the rev limiter until I release the button, revs go to max and the brakes release and hopefully were're off! This is used in the States in classes (such as super stock) where transbrakes are illegal. Don't know how it will work out in practice, I've got a feeling you'd need a really loose convertor to get the best out of it.
