Brake line lock system
Brake line lock system
This is my first post to this forum, though I have been a member for a while.
I have a 1976 W123 300D with formerly NA OM617 fitted with a T40E aftermarket turbo and 3" straight through exhaust. No intercooler, but do have a cooling mist water/methanol injection system. The old girl is pretty old and tired, so not pushing out too much power, but still moves along ok.
I'd really like to be able to do a burnout in the thing but have no hope without the assistance of rain, so have been thinking of installing a rear brake line lock solenoid. I see there are plenty of options available from the likes of Hurst and B&M etc. All seem to use 1/8" NPT female threads on the solenoid. I'm trying to work out the best way to adapt that to my W123 brake lines, which I believe are M10 x 1 (correct me if I'm wrong). Has anyone heard of an off-the-shelf kit that has the right fittings to make it work without a lot of running around trying to source brake lines & fittings?
Thanks,
3DB
