Any line lock will require you to cut and or reshape lines and bleed brakes. No way to get around that. The line lock unit is nothing more than a solenoid that goes between the master cylinder and the front brakes. So, to answer your question the amount of work required to install a line lock is about the same regardless of the manufacturer. Again, its not really that hard to do.
I just purchased the Cartek unit. Comes assembled and is ready to put on with the lines already bent. I'm installing this weekend as it should be in tomorrow.

$250.00. At first I was going to get the Hurst but that was $110 plus the install kit, plus the fittings, plus the bender, etc. I ended up spending around an extra $50 for the Cartek kit and don't have to worry about bending and mounting. The Cartek kit comes at the right length with the right bends and has the heat shield on the line already and the solenoid is already assembled to the lines. You basically pull the front brake line from the master cylinder (closest to the windshield) hook up the line lock and then pull the other end of the OEM line out of the distribution block and connect the other end of the line lock. Dave has a way of bleeding around this time which I will talk to him about tomorrow. That's it. Hook up your switch and you are done. No cutting period. :cheers:
