Default line lock

i've been thinking about buying a line lock lately, but im not sure exactly how it all works.

well i'm pretty sure but heres my guess.

the lock goes between part of the front brake line to lock the front wheels right? and then you have your switch to turn it on and off. so what i'm wondering is where exactly do you mount the lock? and am i right on the theory of how it works?

pump the pedal, hit the lock and it holds pressure to the front tires, release the lock and it releases pressure

we had to do an iso flare and a..regular flare i guess, and 2 bends on a 4 inch piece of line. as a test. i kicked that ****s ***.as for the law boys. they can suck a fat baby off. i'm only gonna do it once in a while. nhra can suck me off too i dont race their events. i hardly even race.

it holds brake pressure on the front wheels so they dont move while you hit the gas and spin the rears. helps with warming up the tires burnouts, and launches.
