    Take your time.

    You may need to cut and flair the lines since the kit is made for a Mustang

    You'll need a double flairing kit, tubing cutter, tubing bender, line wrenches, brake fluid and something to bleed the brakes.

    There is no need to cut anything, nor bend, on the car. Nor cutting the new lines. Don't buy any addtional kit as you will see just how easy and cheap it is. You do not need to alter your OEM lines in any way.

    Your local FLAPS sell everything you need to convert from the MM's metric bubble flair to the linelocks standard thread double flair.

    Easiest 15 minutes ever.

    Also I opted for what is basically a door bell button for the activation switch, cost $4 from home depot and works flawlessly.

    I'll take a couple pics in a couple minutes.

    Keep in mind the front brake port is on the front of the master on 03's and on the rear for 04's. Starting in order of the system is a 1) metric bubble X standard bubble fitting 2) about a 10" long 3/16's standard bubble X standard flair line 3) 1/4" IPS X 3/16's adapter.

    Returning from line lock to the car is 1) Another 1/4" adaptor 2) About a 6" long 3/16's standard flair X metric bubble flair line 3) a metric bubble flair coupling 4) OEM line unmolested and can be converted back in under a minute.

    Once again, after figuring out the right fittings, this was the easiet mod I have yet to do on this car. Also, there is probably 10 different ways you could convert over, this was the easiest with what I could round up. Never a leak, and works great.

    Thak you JustBob for helping out.Do you have an 04? Mine looks different.2 lines into distribution block and 4 out...I was hoping to use my defroster switch because the deroster hasn't worked since window tinting.Has a light and everything...So,you're saying I don't need any new lines??If you have a minute and look in summits part book,they sell just the line lock solenoid.Either Hurst(more money)or summit..They sell an install kit with fittings and lines or you can buy just the fittings..You're saying all I need is the line lock solenoid and the fittings???With the four lines coming out of the bottom of the distribution block,which are the front lines..I'll post some pictures tomorrow..Your way sounds much more better....

    Mine is an 03. You don't touch anything at the distribution box, only the one line at the master like my pic.

    Correct, you only need the unit itself. Everything else can be had at any auto part store on the cheap.

    I've used mine countless times without failure.

    If you can't see what Bob did in his pics, which is clearly shown, maybe someone else should do this for you. Brakes are serious and important for yours and others safety. Don't mess with them if you don't understand!
    You "feel" the difference because you want to "feel" the difference. Since you just spent money on the upgrade you "have" to feel the difference

    I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard

    From JustBob's pics you should be able to see whats going on with the install.


    Im not trying to slam you or anything, but after that PM you sent, I recommend that you get some help with this..... brakes are serious!!

    I would rather have help anyday from someone who knows, than maybe get into an accident because I was not sure on everything I was doing.

    Bugsyc, what are you not seeing here? The ONLY line you remove and reroute is the front master cylinder line (Closest to headlights)..

    In order.
    1)Foot on brake.
    2)Fluid in front line now goes to linelock, instead on distribution block.
    3) fluid leaves linelock and now heads to distribution block.

    It really is tthat easy.

    You brought up a good point however. Traction controlled cars are hooked up differently or do not work well or at all. I can't recall that hook up.

    Yes you need a bender, they can be had for about $4. Also yes you will need two 1/4" IPS brass plugs if yours doesn't come with them. Mine is a Hurst roll control bought used for like $40.

    I hope this clears things up.
