Hi guys. Looking at the possibility of making myself a line locker kit. For those who don't know what it is, it's basically a tap that goes in your brake lines. It stops flow to your rear brakes, so when u put your foot on the brakes and give it a boot full, your front brakes lock on and your back brakes stay free to let the wheels spin. What I'd like to know is, has anyone got/seen one? Has anyone made one? Are they difficult/expensive to make/buy? Also, does anyone know what pressure brake flines are? I am thinking about making one(not for road use obviously ;)). Would really love some help with this. Thanks, Waity.

Buy the time you get all of the bits and peices together, you would be better of buying one.

Cheers rob, I know you can, I am just not too keen to pay for one. I have no idea what price they are. I'm really wanting to do a comparison between making and buying. See where I stand. Hell, if there's enough of a difference and they are easy enough to make, I might start Ebaying them lol.

The one thing you will have to watch out for is a little thing called copywrite. Also will you be able to pay out when some one sues you.

Actually they are made by the one company. How do i know this because i looked at making them as well a few years ago, the trouble that i had was with the parent company and the copywrite was the bit that could have gotten me into a lot of trouble.
