line lock plumbing???

The unit pictured is the lever lock that was on the M38A1....I shouda taken pics
Trying to wrap my head around how I'm suppose to route front brake lines.....can anyone help me out here?
Thanks Jim S.

 

I'm guessing here, but it looks like you would just reroute the line for the front to go from the mc to the inlet of that, and then back out of the outlet like normal. Just picture it as being inline, you just need to make the lines longer. I think.

 

Keeps pressure in the break lines. Parking brake or locking up one
set of brakes.

 

makes sense....there's no indication of inlet/outlet lines, do you think it matters which gets plumbed from the MC?
Jim S.

 

If they're not marked it must not matter, doesn't seem like it would anyway. Just curious, on that one side in the picture is that a bleeder screw?

yes it is.....sdcj6 is working on getting me some instructions. I've spent several hours online looking, but couldn't find anything specific

Ok it's plumbed in . For future reference......bleeder facing up....fitting on the side goes to the MC.....fitting on the back goes to front brakes
Big thanks to sdcj6 (Ray) who has a set of the ultra rare instructions
Jim S.

 

OK interesting problem......hit the brakes lineloc freezes brakes, flip lever hit brakes locks again:?.....anytime I hit the brakes they freeze, flip lever they're loose again until you hit brakes again......I don't get it....any ideas?
Thanks, Jim S.

 

The Mico locks are *not* like a "line-lock" unit, they operate differently. With a line-lock unit you apply the brakes and press the button to hold the brakes in the locked position. As soon as you release the button, the brakes unlock. (Drag racers use this type.)

With a Mico lock you flip the elctrical switch and then apply the brakes. The brakes stay locked until you both release the switch *AND* apply more brake pressure than when you set them. As soon as you release the brake pedal, the Jeep will move. (These are popular with off-roaders and tow-truck operators.)

HTH.

 

This says mico on it but no electric connection that I see?...see attached pic

ps...used unit, could be toast?

 

I dunno. Any markigns on it to try and find documentation for it beyond what you have?
