Line Lock / Torque Control

[Dan]

I did a bit more research on the B&M line lock.

I spoke with a tech rep whose name is JD. This guy was almost as useless as a second appendix. There was no elaboration in any of his answers to any of my questions and he barely spoke loud enough to be heard. Not good, IMHO.

Anyway.... since B&M hasn't tested the product on the Marauder or the CT they cannot say for sure that it will work. They did say that it "should work." I was told that if our cars have a dual diagonal split braking system that we would need to purchase two, one for each line in our cars brake system.

I also asked about whether or not there is any variability in the pressure. An example would be when you were wanting to being moving slowly but not fast enough to end your burnout. He said that it was on or off and that was it.

So there it is. I am going to continue my research in this. I was underwhelmed with the tech support B&M gave me and will use their solution only if it is my only choice.

Best,

Dan

I forgot to ask. Does anyone know what type of brake system we have?

Hydraulic?

Actually, I'm sure you need two locks; one for each front wheel. The anti-lock brake system requires them to be operated independently. When you get a quote on a kit, let us all know as I am very interested in this mod as well.

Now that's funny !!!

The answer would be dual diagonal or something else.

While your statement is probably correct I am not quite sure that its logic applies to the question.

I am sure that TAF would know this one like the back of his hand.

Oh, yeah. I found out that the pricing for a single kit is around $69.00.

Regardless of the technical term, because of the independent nature of the front brakes (IE: not run from a T connector to each wheel) you need two solenoids, one per wheel to make it work right.

I would put them on the hard lines just before the connector to the soft lines to the disks. That way, in case there was a problem with them, you won't have brake fluid all over the inside of the engine compartment.

That's how I set them up on my 67 390 GT Mustang.

Why would Todd know??

[RCSignals]

At MV2 I wondered why our more serious 'racers' didn't have line lock.
It looked like the SS guys did

[Bradley G]

My understanding is that the MM has four channel antiloc with a EBD electronic brake distribution to keep equal line pressure at each wheel I think Too Many Fords is right 2 will be required for the system to function properly or I'm not signed Brad Sinclair

Why would Todd know??

Isn't he our resident brake expert?

[RCSignals]

Isn't he our resident brake expert?

ah, OK, TCE Todd. Yes he should know.

[martyo]

ah, OK, TCE Todd. Yes he should know.

See what happens when you're a smart azz?

[Dan]

Yeah, I said TAF and meant to say TCE Todd. Sorry bout that.

But still, see what happens when you're a smart azz?

Best,

Dan wasn't being a smart azz
