Reply to "Line Lock"

Since my parking brake lever is right next to the driver's seat, I would think the rear brake line is interrupted at that location, next to the water pipes running under the car. That would only be seen by jacking up the car and looking into the tunnel. If your brake lever is in the same location, it could be spliced into the same way.

If you were to apply the line lock on a hill, you could take your foot off the brake and it would hold like an automatic. (The car would have to be in neutral or it would stall) The brakes would still be holding the car, but your foot would not be doing the work, the solenoid would be holding the fluid there for you. Just keep in mind that if the brake is applied to the rear wheels trying to go would be like trying to walk with your shoes nailed to the floor!
