This is what I'm using for a line lock. I'm thinking that the fittings are gonna leak because the flare doesn't have anything to mate up to. Do I have the right fittings? It's a 1/4 ball valve from the hardware store with a reducing bushing down to the brake line fittings.

Yeah you'll probably have a problem with that brake line fitting screwed into a pipe fitting.

You need fittings like on this page.
Screw the appropriate fitting into the bushing and hten the brakeline into it.
If you can't find anything local, I keep 884 and 896 which is 1/8" pipe to metric bubble flare if that would help you.

Thanks Gary! i knew that couldn't be right when I put it together. I did have the plunger type line lock and read about a few problems with them so decided to do the ball valve. Shooting for D&K for the fourth so I will just put on the regular line lock this weekend and see if I can get them bled out.

I have been installing one of thoes tonight on my wifes buggy. I have some friends in Tenn. that have used that set up for years with no problems.

Make sure the ball valve is rated for high presure. Most are only rated for 150 or 350 PSI WOG. your brake system produces a whole lot more pressure.
