I have been running the Mico Lever lock for hmmmm over 10yrs now. I love having the ablitly to lock up the front calipers. Works especially well on hill climbs if I have to stop & start again. I have SM465 tranny so one foot on the clutch other on the trottle and as I let the clutch out I move the lever at the same speed = no roll back
Hydrolic line locks are not intended to be used for long periods of time, over night. The calipers may fade or loose line pressure just sitting, not to mention your calipers may ware pre-mature, seals..
I did test this theory by parking in the driveway with slight incline over night. I placed 4x4 blocks about 1" away from the tires just incase. The next day my rig did not move and when I release the line lock my rig rolled back to the 4x4s. No line fade.
I only use it as a parking break for short amount of time only. It's main funcltion is for wheelin!
I have had Zero leaks and Zero issues with it over the years and plumbing the lines was a peice of cake. I never did hook up the light/buzzer wires that will warn you if pressure is lost..never felt the need so.
I tapped into the P-valve to the Line-lock then back up to the front caliper line.
For a mecanical line lock this one works great! Billit Alumn too
