Looking at installing fire system in the car.
Anything to look for, brand, type(AFFF), electric or manual? |

Get an AFFF system, not Halon
AFFF covers the fire, and reduces the chance of it re-igniting. Halon does not... Also get at least a 4 liter unit. That's what's recommended for closed cockpit cars Personally, I'd go for a mechanical set up. But that's just me... I hate electric stuff and I'd hate it even more if I found out that I wired it wrong in the moment I needed it most (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) But if you're comfortable with electric installations, YMMV Either way, put 2 "actuators" in the car. One where you can reach it (strapped into your seat) and one on the outside of the car, where the track crew can reach it (usually the driver side front cowl) |
