Default Brake Line Lock?

Does anyone know who makes a brake line lock kit for our Crossfires? I contacted
Eurocharged and Jerry said they do not have one available. Thanks for your help.

2 reasons why no one makes a line lock for Mercedes-Benz chassis.
1) Oddball brake line fitting sizes
2) Need to use 2 solenoids (1per front wheel)

With that said, I made my own line lock and it has been working for 2 years now.

Thanks for your reply. What brand locks did you use and where did you purchase fittings
and brake line. Since it is MB I am sure that the brake line is some unusual size.

I bought all the components from Summit Racing. Let me see if I can dig through invoices (couples years ago now) and see what sizes the fittings were I used. Basically you will need:
2 - Solenoids
2 - Short SS jumper brake lines (from factory hard line to solenoid)
2 - Factory hard line to jumper line adapter fittings
2 - Jumper line to solenoid fittings
2 - Solenoid to factory (or in my case SS) brake lines
1 - Arming switch
Wire, wire terminals and misc hardware to mount the solenoids.
