Just one of several threads that appears when you search for "line lock" in the advanced search menu: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c4-t...on-a-96-a.html.

To get to the advanced search page, look at the red bar across the top of this page - it has a pull down box labeled 'search'. Click on it and a box will pop up with advanced search at the bottom.

In the "Search in Forum(s)" box, scroll down to "C4, 1984-1996". Type "line lock" in the keyword box in the upper left hand corner and then go to the bottom and click "search now".

One consideration may be that the C4 brake lines use ISO 'Bubble' flares
on the ends of the tubing, while line-lock devices are typically machined
to receive traditional tubing with inverted flare (aka double-flare) ends.

Will you be integrating the line-lock into the OEM brake lines yourself,
or will you be having someone with the proper tube flaring tools do this
part of the work for you?

This one?
line locks? (leadshred: 12-17-2008, 10:20 PM)
A veritable fount of knowledge gushes forth from within. What more
could a person possibly need to know about the subject.

Edit: This post contains sarcasm. It is NOT directed to the OP.

toodlz49: ignore the noise, focus on the signal.

Do you have the tools and knowledge to form the flared tubing ends
that are required for installation? Or will you have this work done
by someone else?

Then it appears the OP has only been given fish.

I mean really, what kind of question is this to ask :
"Has anyone ever done a line lock setup on a C4? "

OR

"Haven't seen this topic yet!!! "
Sometimes subtle flames are required to reduce EMI
