In addition to a half-cage, we're also installing seats, fire system, and steering wheel.
As mentioned in other threads, we don't like any of the other seat mounts on the market for this platform, so we're now making our own out of formed 11ga steel:
Jonsey's going with a Sparco Circuit and Evo 2, both great seats:
The fire suppression system is a SPA Technique Fire Sense AFFF system, with five nozzles throughout the car. The bottle itself is mounted in the truck.
The pull-handle for the driver is to the right of the shifter. Far enough away to not be accidentally pulled, but close enough it can be quickly pulled if needed.
The mount is a sturdy steel piece, since if this handle ever has to be pulled, it will be yanked in a HURRY. You can also see the nozzle facing the passenger:
There's a secondary handle behind the passenger seat headrest that can be easily accessed by cornerworkers if needed:
The driver's side nozzle is just underneath the knee pad.
There's two nozzle on the passenger side of the engine bay, one over the fuel rails, and one by the surge tank.
The fifth nozzle is over the driver's side fuel rails.
It's always interesting installing fire systems, since you hope they never have to be used. We've learned over the years how important they are, though. At
under $400 they're cheap insurance for the level of safety and protection they provide.
Thanks for reading! Feel free to reach out if there's any questions we can answer.
