It has been years since I saw one of those .

Why not go with a transfer case drive line brake.

Since this is your vehicle you can do this how ever it is easier for you.


There are quite a few different types how they are installed depending on just what type you plan to use.

No instructions with what you have??

What problems are you having??

If your using a manual valve get an idea where your going to mount it.

Then make the new steel lines to reach . Making sure not to kink them.

Using a grommet through the fire wall or floor where ever it works best for the mounting location making sure the lines don`t rub .

Just what are you not sure of??

If it is a manual valve it gets plumbed into the rear brake line at the master cylinder

then in the open position you bleed the brakes like normal to get all the air out .

If your using it to do tire cleaning burnouts with your 500 plus horse power engine.

Would be about the only reason to do the front .

The rear also has the benefit of the drive train as well. Is this not to replace the now removed parking brake??

It is your vehicle do as you will.

175hp stroker 22r but not for burnouts,thinking that rear manual trans will hold back while front line lock could hold front.
