Sure, Mel...gimme a day, or so, on the pictures, but meanwhile...
I installed a Safecraft model RS fire supression system in #770...it came with sufficient hardware to install one discharge nozzle, and the actuator T-handle, etc. After reviewing my installation plan, I purchased additional tubing, compression and T-fittings from Safecraft. They're easy to deal with and very knowledgable about their products. Here's a link...
Safecraft Model RS 5 lb system
I installed a T-connector under the transmission tunnel and ran a line straight up the inside of the tunnel. Then, I mounted one nozzle in the cockpit on the left leg of the scuttle brace, just to the right of my right knee....about 4-5 inches up the brace before it disappears under the dash. The other leg off that T-connector goes into the engine bay, and up to the firewall, where I mounted another T-connector. From both legs of that T-connector, I ran tubing around both sides of the engine bay, using the backside of the fenderwells to mount the tubing. Finally, I gently bent the aluminum tubing up above the valve covers and mounted a nozzle on each side of the engine with the outlets pointed directly at the carburetor, since I figure that's the most likely place a fire will start... I'll snap some photos and post them...
Mel...are your a SCOF member? If so, I have a complete detailed write-up of my Safecraft fire suppression system install posted there on the Technical Bulletin area of the website...full write up, pictures, etc.
