Hill Holder Brake Lines
Posted: Tue Sep 16, 2008 11:08 am
A mate has a manual Gen1 lib and is going to convert it to an auto, plans are for it to be a drag car. He wants to swap out the hill holder lines (under bonnet, run around passengers side I believe) as to reduce braking failure and weight to the car. And put in lines from auto (without hill holder).
Now I have a Gen1 auto, which he would be able to use the lines...
But I will only do this, if the hill holder lines will fit in my car without too much stuffing around, I'm wondering, is this possible to put hill holder lines in an auto?
You're asking
Why I'd want to do this anyway, as its an auto... Well down the track, I'd like to convert my lib to a manual, if the right box pops up and having hill holder brakes already under the bonnet installed ready would be nice.
I don't see how it would work anyway, as I'd need a clutch at least thrown into the mix, as it determines when the hill holder brake is released...
Anyhoo, cheers for any info,
Bumpty.
