don't install a line lock for a parking brake
they don't hold the pressure well enough. after a while your car will role away. the brake lines are 5/16IIRC tho |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I'd go for a cable operated wilwood stop caliper.

Go to your FLAPS and take a piece of brake line with you. The stock lines are a euorpean bubble flare and the fittings are metric threaded.
You need to take a sample with you to be sure that it matches up. Your FLAPS will have generic straight lines that you will need to bend to fit. We have already discussed a line lock, but if that is what you are going to do, that is what you are going to do. They will work for a while. I prefer the 911 e-brake solution, but that is my own biased opinion. Make sure you park in gear. jus tmy $0.02 |

dflesburg,
Or you could just get some wheel chocks. Harbor Freight probably has them, or you could carry a couple of bricks with you. You should also put the car in 1st gear. Or you could get a chain and padlock and always park next to a big sturdy post and chain the car to the post. |

Before you hijack again, that would be my Dad. |

As I stated many times,
The only purpose is to pass the inevitable "CHIP's" side of the road safety inspection... Grrr. |
