Default Line lock question

I've been reading here and saw that there is a possibility of getting an ABS error if a single line lock solenoid is installed between the master cylinder and ABS control. That seems strange to me as that is the way the SLP kit installs. I don't see how it would really matter but has anyone with this single solenoid had any problems? I was also curious if anyone knew the normal current draw on the single solenoids so I'd be sure to get a switch that would handle it.

I'm thinking of making my own lines or just cutting and flaring the stock line to work. Are the brake lines standard or metric tubing?

I have the SLP single solenoid linelock kit and have not had any problems. As for line sizes and amperages ratings, I'm not real sure. I have a custom switch panel that covers the rear cup holder. When I ordered it they asked me what I was going to be using it for. I told them one was for a linelock, they didn't seem too concerned. I'd look at the switch but the car is in storage right now.

Here is a video of my linlocks in action:

ABS damage is not common with the single solenoid setups, but it has occurred on some cars. I'd advise you to go with a dual solenoid kit like Granatelli or PMP line locks.

I went to the track with the SLP line locks this weekend. I had no problem at all. The only thing I would recommend is get a different switch then the one supplied. I'm sure it's functional it just looked cheesy!
