Hurst Brake Hydraulic Line Lock Kit
Hurst Roll/Control: The Drag Racer's Brake Hydraulic Line Lock Standard
When it comes to brake hydraulic line lock kits, few names carry the track credibility of Hurst. Best known for their legendary performance shifters, Hurst has applied that same race-first engineering philosophy to their Roll/Control Line/Loc system — a hydraulic line lock solution trusted on drag strips from local bracket nights to professional competition.
What Makes the Hurst Roll/Control System Stand Out
The centerpiece of Hurst's line lock lineup is the Roll/Control kit, engineered to lock the front wheels during a burnout and hold the car at the staging line without rolling into the beams prematurely. The engineering behind this system is anything but basic. Rigorous testing has proved a 1/100,000 of a second release time, and the unit has been subjected to vibration tests exceeding 30 G's without mechanical failure — numbers that reflect genuine race-grade durability.
The Roll/Control valve features a stainless steel valve assembly for ultimate corrosion resistance, paired with a fully enclosed, epoxy-molded electrical coil for long-term reliability in demanding under-hood environments. The finned aluminum housing helps dissipate heat generated during repeated brake-hold cycles, while a wider, lightweight base provides better mounting stability than earlier designs.
Contamination is a real concern in any brake hydraulic system, so Hurst incorporates 150-micron screen-filtered ports to help keep debris out of the valve internals. An extra threaded port gives racers and tuners the option to add a separate bleeder or a brake line pressure gauge — a feature that seasoned drag racers will appreciate when fine-tuning launch pressure. Best of all, the valve is field serviceable, meaning it can be cleaned or rebuilt trackside without needing specialized tools.
Vehicle-Specific and Universal Kits for Easy Installation
Hurst offers both universal Roll/Control kits and vehicle-specific packages tailored to popular platforms. Mustang owners, for example, can choose dedicated kits with stainless steel brake lines, mounting brackets, lighted momentary switches, and all the hardware needed for a clean, complete installation. Separate Roll/Control Installation Kits supply brake lines along with brass fittings, connectors, adapters, unions, and plugs so every plumbing connection is covered. For late-model Camaros, Firebirds, and Mustangs with metric-threaded brake line fittings, Hurst also offers dedicated adapter fitting kits to simplify the install further.
