Im considering installing a Line Lock on my shorty with the OD833. Not to be used for burnouts but as a hill holder. We have some fairly steep hills with stoplights around here. Do any of you guys have 1 on your truck. What brand. Where did you mount it? Im thinking about a bracket that uses the 2 master cylinder/booster studs for mounting. I hve a 2 spoke steering wheel with the holes in it so I will mount the button in the left outer most hole for activation..
I am truckless..

Putting the button in the wheel will be a pain.I know.Had it there on my 65.Every time you make a turn it wraps around the TS arm.It finally broke the wire at the button.I had a plate made up for my Pistol grip.It worked but was a pain to power shift.With the stock stick its easy to attach.My lock is mounted at my master.Been there for 5 or 6 years and no problems.Rocky

I tossed the bracket I made for my PG.Its buried in the garage somewhere.Ive thought about getting one of the Hurst PGs with the button and retapping it to fit my stock 65 stick.Someone was supposed to make a top with button for the factory PG.Ive been looking for one for years.That would be the ticket.Rocky

I have used a micro switch from radio shack attached to the shifter stem just under the handle with a home made bracket. I used my pinky finger to operate it. I used coiled wire down to the boot, and then under the carpet to the solenoid and power source. My

If ya haven't been there, ya just wouldn't understand.
