A few years ago on the TVWDRA web site there was a wiring diagram showing how to connect a transbrake button and a microswitch for the clutch pedal to release the line lock and two step together.

I printed it off, but now cannot find it. Does any one still have the diagram?

 Wire the switches in parallel , positive to positive,negitive to negitive. On the line lock ground one wire, the other designate it as negitive for your switches. From a power supply install a fuse, run it to both switches on the positive side. Connect the wire from the line lock to both switches on the negitive side. When you wire it this way either switch will activate the linelock. Hope this will help,     Mike

Thanks Mike, but the setup I am looking for also connected the two step. I believe a Bosch relay was also used.

You tie your 2 step into the same lead as the linelock to activate it, my car has a delay box so it is all tied into that. If you are not running a delay box I would activate the system off a switch below your clutch pedal. When you push your pedal all the way to the clutch stop it activates a switch which locks your linelock for the brakes and engages the 2 step. When you release the pedal it releases everything at one time. This is the setup I had on the Ghia back in 89,       Mike

Mike, can I also run a transbrake switch so I can use either the clutch switch or the transbrk switch. This way I can lock the line lock for a burn out and then let the clutch switch take over for the launch.

Tom, thanks for the reply. I will send you an e-mail.

 Absolutely you can, I would add a button to your steering wheel for the burnout.   Mike
