Hey fellas,
I'm in need of advice. I want to put in another safety device to protect my investment. This is of course for gas fire suppression. Should I go with the regular ABC unit or Halon? Thoughts, suggestions or Steve go piss up a tree are welcome. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) |

You would have to email the seller and ask it the cable assembly/handle comes off. That way you could route the cable easy into the cabin. Possibly thru the center consol or just above it and mount the handle just below the shifter. Drop your hand down off the shifter, pull the safety clip and pull the handle. Ask how long the cable is.
As to mounting, if it dosen't come with a bracket (clamp type) you should be able to pick one up at any fire supply store. Again ask the seller if it has one. Most new units come with one. Mount it anywhere in the engine bay, that it is out of the way when you work on the engine. A 5 lbs. unit should cover about 210 Cu. Ft. I just sold one (6 lbs unit) and it came with the bracket and the cable assembly did come off to for routeing, but it was a different make/model than the one your looking at. |
