Nope, no problems - if it's not turned on, the fluid passes through with no restriction.

Righ, I think my problem lies elswhere.
I'm using 3/16" brake line and my locks are 1/2". So the line necks in and out. I thought that maybe I had some air trapped in there. I'm going to try something else tomorrow that I think will solve the problem.
Well I had picked out a low end line lock from a printed copy of the Jegs Catalog... if only I could find that catalog with the sticky notes on a few pages....
The fitting sizes were typical brake lines size and simple reducers also listed. At least that's what I remember... Was offered a pair for free... hmmm wonder if they are still laying around.
It will require two (one front and one back) but I will be happy to just hold all four wheels with the flip of a switch - allowing for blood flow to the toes, might even be able to get out and laugh at the folks that made me sit on the incline.
Ya i think your right with the 1/2"
Here are some pics of my setup.
Sorry i did not have time to resize them so im just going to make them links so i dont slow this post down.
Why do you think you have a brake bleed issue? Spongy?
Having learned the hard way, I have found two other causes when your sure that you have bled out all the air..
1. One of the rear brakes is not working correctly....I had one of the metal stranded cables pop off and get eaten up....as a result, the automatic brake adjuster was not working right...hence, the rear brake on that side had a lot of travel before it made contact...hence, my brake travel seemed too long. Also having rear brakes way out of adjustment can cause a similar issue.
2. Bad brake booster....or rather on it's way out.
BTW...are the line locks with the effort? Since I'm redoing all of my brake lines anyway, this might be a good time to do it.
