Default Halon Fire System

I wanted to post some pictures of my Halon fire system. I read a post about a car catching on fire and the owner was not prepared. For those of you that have heavily modified your cars and maybe running Nitrous. I highly recommend adding a fire protection system to your car. If not to protect your investment, to at least save your self.

Picture of both bottles mounted to the harness har. The bottle on the left Nitrous on the right Halon fire system from Safecraft

I'm the owner you're speaking about in the other string. I have a full halon system in my C5 and highly recommend it (never have had to use it but if I did I would be prepared).

What my post was about was having a detachable 2.5 bottle in your car for your car or someone else's if the need arose. I have 4 cars and a truck and the only car with a system like yours is my C5. That just didn't happen to be the car on fire is all. Carrying a free bottle so you could help yourself or someone else is what I'm recommending to this community.

See my string for the install in my C5. Thanks for showing us yours. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=236132

The cost is about $1500.00, cheap insurance.
And I also carry a hand held extinguisher in all my vehicles!

For those of you that have heavily modified your cars and maybe running Nitrous.
I can see a reason for having fire protection in the cabin, but not for nitrous since its not flammable.
