Looking to update a race car with a 3-bay suppression system. I have done this many years ago but looking for suggestions on ideal routing for the lines and bottle location. Car has two seats (although rarely used right seat) so may impact routing and will probably do a dual nozzle in the cabin to make sure any riders are covered. Will want to spray both banks of carbs in the engine bay and one nozzle for the fuel cell space.
Anyone have some good pictures of routing they have done and where to locate bottle so it is out of the way? Pull locations appreciated too. Thanks! Bill |

I just did this in my GT Tribute 6 vintage race car. I installed a Sparco AFFF system, 5.7 liter bottle in the forward part of the passenger compartment. The tech guy for our club who also works safety crew prefers manual cable actuation. The system I bought had two included. I installed one for me and one on the other side. Both reachable from the window as well. I plumbed a rear line with one nozzle below the engine tin and two above. I routed that line in the tunnel, and it exits under the tin. There is one nozzle on me under the dash and one at the fuel cell. Adding pics here is a pain but if you PM me I can send you some.
