Ok guys i have an issue getting my line lock to work.

It's a new jegs line lock.

It's piped up as in the pic and has power from the switch on the shifter via a relay. Checked it all out and it's getting power and clicking when live.
I have bled the brakes and they work fine.
I've even tried taking the 12v power straight from the battery terminals but it still won't hold the front Brakes.
Any ideas would be welcome.

only thing that may cause the problem somehow is it says in the instructions not to use copper brake lines.
I have a hurst unit on my other car and it's all fitted exactly the same and works perfect.

Take it off, block one outlet and operate on the bench using air. If it does not hold the air it sounds like a faulty or stuck valve.

cheers Bernie.
I tried that with a spare section of pipe connected but wasn't sure it would seal air as it's harder to seal than fluid.
Anyway it didn't hold so i'll take it that it's faulty.
I'll take the one i know works of the bug and see if it works on the notch.
