It's a little hard to see but here are some pictures of my line locks installed. I have the SLP kit.









the black and brass is the solenoid on the driver side which is placed in the new line between the ABS and the master cylinder. Pull the current line out that controls the front brakes, put the new line and solenoid in, wire it up and you are good to go (after refilling and bleeding the brakes of course)

Thanks for the pics of the SLP as I was wondering how exposed the solenoid was on this set-up. Think this will be on my "to-do" list.

I have the SLP kit in my garage to be installed. The solenoid location looks to be a PIA to mount. Possibly a small rt angle drill can get in there or take the strut off and drill from behind.

That does not sound like fun. Maybe I will go with the PMP kit instead.

I didn't do the drilling because I was busy working on something else on the car, but I know we didn't pull the strut off or even the fender liner. It didn't take Joe long to get the solenoid mounted there though.

The PMP kit is the ***** best for sure. I prefer the peace of mind of two solenoids over one. I had the Granatelli kit first, but it wouldn't clear my Whipple heat shield so I switched to PMP with Jeg's solenoids. After my fiasco with Granatelli's COPs, I'm glad not to have any of their products left on my car.
