[DeTomaso] Horror Stories....Re: Trailering Tiedown Points

[Peter Kovacs]

I had a line lock installed by a vendor because my original hand brake pressed in to the cooling lines when used. The line lock is not reliable and on more than one occasion the car has rolled from its original location. I came out of the office one day and my car had reparked itself against the curb at the other end of the lot. It still had the car cover on.

Last year we had a new owner engage a line lock then found his car then next
morning had rolled into the garage door.  Fortunately, there was no real
damage.

Those line locks are bad juju.  There always seems to be horror stories with
them.

Mike

When installing a line lock just put the line lock on one line, meaning you 
would still have brakes to stop the car from rolling down the drive. Right?
