some progress

Not an enormous amount of progress due to preparing the seven for the trip, but I did get some more simple items installed. It is installed as per MSA regulations with two larger nozzles in the engine bay, and two in the cockpit.

The fire extinguisher is mounted behind the front wheel on the sidepod. I have installed a nozzle pointing at the fuel system, it sprays in 4 directions, and should give good coverage of the injectors, fuel lines, and air box.

The other engine bay nozzle is pointing down the exhaust, it should spray the headers as well as down into the side pod. These are two places I think are most likely for a fire to break out.

The interior nozzles are bi-directional and are mounted underneath the line of the dashboard, one pointing towards the driver/passenger ish, the other pointing straight across the car to spray the electrical system.
