Well for what it,s worth I would like to make a comment addressed to everyone about ......FIRES and destroyed cars...After doing some reading on 914 world, and other places it seems to be an unfortunate occurance, too often, that an otherwise beautiful car, just burns to the ground,into a virtural pile of unsalvagable parts.a crispy critter. I would like to recommend that the FIRST PROJECT YOU DO NEXT...is to throughly check every part on your fuel and fuel delivery system to ensure that there are zero leaks,and tight fittings,with new, er,ish, good fuel lines.Do not neglict the gas tank,or fuel pump, and filters..suspect everything, assume nothing... jump in and make your suggestions,and recommendations or comment.

What type of fire extinguisher should be fitted, where should it be attached, and where is the best place to buy one from?

What type of fire extinguisher.......Halon (I'd recommend 2.5 lb minimum)

Where to mount.....in the passenger compartment

Where to buy.....Halon F/E are nor readily available at the usual places that you'd think to go (Lowe's, Home Depot, local hardware store, FLAPS, etc.). I purchased mine at a small local airport in a business that sells, supplies and caters to the light, private aircraft owner. Halon is THE recommended F/E for aircraft and will be non corrosive and friendlier to your wiring and electronics if you need to discharge it.
