Default Line Lock Parking Brake

Well I've thrown in the towel, I've HAD IT with the stupid Jag e-brake that is impossible to adjust to keep the e-brake working. Fed up, done, I could just scream and throw wrenches at it. I was "this close" to pulling out the entire rear end assembly just to work on the $%J*x@ e-brake system.

Then, an epiphony, why not use a Line Lock? I only need the e-brake occasionally and typically for just a few minutes. But it sure can be a hassle if you haven't got one sometimes!

Plus, I think it will be interesting at the drag strip for burn-outs to heat up those slicks (boy are they slippery when they are cold). So I'll put it on the front brakes only.

I ordered the B and M "kit" from Jegs. You can order the solenoid alone and bring your own fittings, brake line, wire, switches, fuse, etc. etc. for about $45 bucks, or buy the "kit" for about a $100 bucks, which comes with most of the stuff your going to need/buy anyway.

Here's a link, note the part number. Not recommended for use AS an e-brake stand alone long term (more than a 1/2 hour) type e-brake. Perfect for my intended use!

In case the link fails the part number is:
130-46076K

NOTE: Apply only enough pressure to the brake pedal to secure the car from rolling, DON'T overdue it!! To much pressure, not good. DON'T leave the pressue on for to long, temperature fluctuations can raise brake line pressue making it difficult to impossible for the solenoid to release.
