I've been struggling with those 2 stupid chimneys that I built on the firewall for the 2 fire suppression heads....the automatic head (in a previous post) is pressurized from the factory so you can't do anything to the line in order for it to penitrate the firewall perpendicular, and the hose (braided) limits the options so sort'a stuck with something sticking out from the firewall. Anyway, didn't like what I did so changed it... I think this gets closer to a clean solution.

Finished the first round of block sanding, went through to metal in a few spots so touched them up with epoxy along with the fire suppression fix.

Thanks! - Don't know what I was thinking with my first approach, brain was off for at least the better part of a whole afternoon while I was building those chimney stacks!!

I choose Safecraft for a few reasons; I like the 3M Novec agent, I liked the idea of the automatic heads in parallel with the manual....maybe overkill for us but I watched a guy, knocked out, in a sprint car fire, left an impression. And they were having a smoking deal at PRI. Customer service has been great. If I was going to do the automatic head again, I would have exactly mapped out the head location and line path before ordering, as the automatic line is pressurized from the factory. I sort of did that, but could have eliminated this mounting bracket if I just had the head mounted to the line with a 90 degree fitting from the factory.

I'm also going to do a 5lb, separate system for the interior.

I looked at SPA and FireBottle and Lifeline...all were solid solutions as well. Don't think there is a LatG sponsor for this one but hopefully someone will jump in here if they have another idea, probably should be a whole lot more conversation on this topic.
