Hi All,
Everybody has been a great help with my car so far so thank you. I've discovered I'm giong to need to update 3 things on my car in order to go racing. I need to find a fuel cell to fit the 914 along with a Lexan windshield and a Halon fire system with two nozzles. Anybody know of any sources? Thank you, Randy |

I haven't seen rules about Lexan windshields, but I don't do SCCA and for now a glass windshield is a better option for me. (I have no door glass and a Lexan rear window, however.) I am pretty sure you will at least need windshield hold-down tabs, though, and Smart Racing Products has those.
I got the Fuel Safe / Patrick type of cell as shown above. It is spendy but has some pluses: large (basically stock) capacity, keeps the front trunk floor open for oil cooling etc and keeps the cell out of the main crash/crumple zone, and is widely accepted for vintage racing where you can't move the fuel tank from the stock location. Lastly I went with the 4L AFFF Spa fire system, which I got from Sube Sports in Huntington Beach, CA but there are several good systems and all the major race parts suppliers carry them. I would advise at least 3 nozzles vs 2 -- I think it's a good idea to have one pointed at the fuel cell/pump/filter area up front, 1 pointed at the driver's leg/torso area, and one in the engine compartment pointed towards the carbs. Opinions vary on all of this, of course. |
