Line Lock | Roll Control Installation

- Here I show you how I installed the line lock in my g-body. [UNBOXING VIDEO] I also show you my favorite and what I think is the best AN JIC fitting flaring tool I have come across. Line lock or Roll Control is used to aid doing a burnout in the water box before a run down the track.
ENJOY!
Don’t forget to check out the IG and Facebook pages for the channel where I post almost daily all the little shenanigans I encounter day to day driving my Buick Grand National.

Got this tool and saved lots going to my local mechanic to flare my lines. I had enough with him when he tried charging me $65 for one line flare, he refused to return my line. He said it broke one of his tools and that I was responsible for it. Ridiculous. He ended up letting go of my line for $10 but I never returned and I'll be leaving his shop an honest review.
I'm rebuilding the 1986 Grand National bought new in 87 by my father ( and my stepmother crashed in 1994 with 6500 miles) I've been trying to collect parts for 10 years to replace the frame, body and parts that were stolen while it sat under a tarp. I've got the frame and chassis fully rebuilt and I'm getting the shell,s metal work started and hope to have it running this year (assuming I can find the rest of the missing misc pieces) I've found your videos informative...and motivational, keep up the good work and I'll send you some pics when I get closer.
Thank you and best of luck with your build
jeremy rowe as you build post it on TH-cam. Be great to see

I know it's been a while since you did this video but let me give you some advice anyway. Use copper or steel wire to get bends before transferring them to brake lines it any line for that matter
Good video man clean work, where’s the line lock test video
Most of the track videos and the new intro have “test footage”
From 2023 NHRA rulebook: If
brake system includes a differential pressure switch, line-loc installed on front brakes must have solenoid installed after the differential switch. All line-locs (electric or hydraulic) must be self-returning to normal brake operating mode.
Yours is mounted before the pressure switch/proportioning valve.
Thank you and good observation but I am not worried about it.
Once again enjoy the videos every time please keep them coming just wanted to know the shop that you have been to a couple times and work on your car or you take your car for work that has all the Grand Nationals in the background the next time when you go is it possible to show footage of that and the car is that they're being worked on and also where's the location of that shop it look like they does good work I think about needing the shop to take my car to I live in Pennsylvania area but I'm willing to take it somewhere I know it could get done the right way
Anderson Performance, let me know and I’ll introduce you to the owner Billy, really cool guy and he takes care of his customers.
I was under the assumption that a double flare must be used in brake systems. I do love how these look. Do the fillets and AN fittings make up for the lack of strength on a single flare?
I couldn’t tell you for sure, but the fittings and line I bought were rated for brake line and nitrous use.
I'll throw in just a little more info on the flares. 45 degree double flares are required for regular brake lines. If you're running stainless lines like these with the AN-style fittings and slip-tubes behind the flares, then you only use a single 37 degree flare.
Planning on installing now this Wilwood proportioning valve, which means removing the brass oem valve, not sure what the fittings I need, working on suspension project, disc brakes conversion, A-arms, coil-overs, swaybars, control arms
Just a tip for brake line templates, use a wire coat hanger.
.. you need a double flare.. single is worth nothing
Hard to double flare AN fittings, which are working just fine...👍🏼
Thanks bro. Nice video. Its very clear.
Welcome 👍
Good job buddy
What is the purpose for you using a line lock...?to build boost..? Or just burn rubber..... great videos by the way..
You could use it for either or both depending how you set it up.
Very neat work mate!
Where is the burnout to show how it works but??! :)
I’ve gone through 6 sets of tires since lol
Lots of burnouts on my IG VenomGT87
I see this video is almost 3 years old. But worth a shot, btw nice setup. I am curious tho. What kind of fittings ur using for the end of the line? I tried googling JIC and AN but could not find any ends that have the sleeve/collar insert that goes inside the line and a nut that slides around the outside of the line. Ive seen these but for the life of me can not figure out what there called and where to but them. This seems like a more aftermarket method of building a brake system but I like the design better vs the standerd double flare end. Thanks again for ur time. Happy building.
Those are flared tube nuts and flared tube sleeves. If you are going this route, I highly suggest for your mental sanity and your wallet, get a nice flaring tool like the ridgid...specially with stainless. It will save you a lot of material and headaches.
Awesome video, you make it look so easy. But I know it isn't......
Another great video
Thank you!
Hey. Quick question. Where did you get that wilwood brake reservoir from? And is it just gnx specific. Or compatible with all g-body's?
Sort of universal, the part numbers for everything are in the description of the hydroboost conversion video.
Is necessary drain the brake fluid after install the line lock?
Yes, you’ll need to bleed the front brakes after the install.
Just about every vid I've seen installs the line loc after the proportion valve, I want to go your route having it directly between the master and the proportioning valve as its less fittings and will be cleaner looking.. no issues with this setup to date? Just a bit confused as to why people go the other route. Nice install btw 👍👍
There are two ways to go about it and usually for the front setup you want it before the proportioning because after, it would require you to have 2 solenoids because the proportioning valve splits the fronts into left and right. Now if you are trying to do it the Aussie way, where it cuts off the rear brakes you would put the solenoid after the prop valve.
VenomGT87 awesome thanks for the clarity 👍
So i want to control my roll and install to rear to stop brakes form actuating so i need to install after proportional valve?? I have same master and proportional as you please let me know thabks
What’s the part numbers on those flaring tools bud?
Here you go. Shop around but amazon usually has the best price.

Thank you.., and what’s the number on the pliers looking tool?
Thats one is just a cheap-o advance auto parts tube bending pliers
VenomGT87
Ah.., ok I appreciate ya
What are the fittings that slide on the 3/16 line?
Those are -3 AN.
Does the line lock have to be that close to the master cylinder? Or can you have it tucked away?.
You can tuck it away but I like to have things accessible and somewhat close together.
Can you get all those tools at advance
You can get the all but the flaring tool, that one you will need to order online.
Have you ever had any problems at race tracks getting the car through tech inspection with the line lock installed after the master cylinder ?
I actually pointed it out to a tech once because someone mentioned that the NHRA regulation says it has to be after the prop valve after I installed it and he looked at it said it was good....never questioned it again 😂
...then again I also have a fuel cell full of methanol in the trunk and no metal firewall 🤓
Alright imma roll the dice 🎲 and install it after master cylinder lol hopefully I don’t regret it
I’m also using wilwood master and wilwood prop valve so if they trip on me then I’ll just save the pre fab line wilwood included and run no line lock for that day 👍 thanks
I’m still scowering the web and the papers and my surroundings for a gn. How long did it take you to find yours?
Kind of found me, I sold a ‘57 wagon and the person I sold it to was getting rid of it...lol
VenomGT87 well I wouldn’t mind having a 57 wagon either!
thanks for the video....what brand are the tube bending pliers you used? i'm about to install mine in the upcoming weeks - so right on time! I will have to pickup one of those rigid flaring tools sometime to.... looks a lot beefier than the "el cheapos" - i saw the price too... WOAH.... the right tools are always worth it though IMO.
The pliers I bought on Amazon, I couldn't find the same ones but they all look the same, as long as they resemble those I have, you should be good, they are really nice and sturdy and yes that flaring tool is a little pricey but trust me, the amount of tubing I have wasted because the el-cheap-o flaring tool slipped or marred the flare justifies the price on this one lol
Great video! Really enjoyed this one. But that's odd that your genders are plastic. My Monte has steel. Wonder why they're different. AND....... once again. I want your weather lol.
Funny you say that because the day after this video, I am sitting in about 10” of snow lol
VenomGT87 wow that's sporadic weather lol. Maybe I'll stick with mine. 😂
Great video! Could you tell me what the part number of the rigid flaring tool? Im going to be putting a hurst line lock on my 72 Mach 1 once the new 347 stroker motor we are building is done. I know they are expensive, but some tools i dont mind going cheap knowing the quality ahead of time but something like this i will not do that. Thank you
I got it from Amazon.
RIDGID 41162 377, Flaring Tool for 37-degree
Awesome! thank you sir
Where did you get your fittings from
Jegs
I got a 84 mustang the kits say fit 79 04 but then do home work all that says 87 up so have details what year car yours is and what kit you got for it and anything else can think of just wanna burn some rubber
Mine dont have any after market brake parts and stuff so bit tricky find all out
Mine is not a kit, I bought a solenoid from Jegs, SS line and fittings. Take out the line that goes to the front brakes, figure out what fittings are on the master and the prop valve and then make your own with the solenoid somewhere along that line.
What company makes the flaring tool you use.
Great content. 👍👍
Here you go. Shop around but amazon usually has the best price.

@@VenomGT87 thanks for the info. Have a great day...
Anytime, same to you
Brand and model of that bending tool???
They are advance auto parts brand, tube bending pliers.
Thanks
Fill the soft line with water, freeze, then bend. You're welcome!
Too much time, work and risk of contaminating the system the line is going onto.
hi im looking to install one on my vf commodore sedan, was hoping you could help me out. iv never done it before.
reply with your email if possible cheers
I am not familiar with commodores. I would assume it similar to the new police caprice? You may need to see if it will work with your ABS.
