I may or may not have purchased a small cnc machine recently to start making plates like these :)

Is that teflon tape?

I use Loctite 567 for anything that's going to have pressure or fluids behind it. (Nitrous, oil, brake, etc.) The only time I use Teflon tape is on my wife's gardening equipment.

Though I see that’s not what you’re struggling with since a flare fitting should seal without any sealant.

I had the same line lock. I found it to be unreliable. Pump it up and sometimes it would hold and sometimes it wouldn’t. Screwed up more than one burnout. I threw it way and not using one with the new setup. I’ve found at this level we have enough power to get the tires moving on the foot brake and shift into high gear within about two seconds. I let off the brake on the shift and let it do its burnout moving. No reason to sit there on the brake making clouds.

Weird, I had one of those LL in my 2009 Challenger M6 for years and never had a problem with it. Maybe I'm lucky. I put a custom LL button on the shift ball and text that said "hang on" :LOL:

Red illuminated button in front of the shift bezel was the activation switch as a safety measure. Flip that on and it enabled the button on the shifter.
