Mine went off randomly on the lift at TPC - boy was Harris surprised!!!

I dont know where the nozzles are, what the system is, or really anything about it other than there is a button on the inside with a sticker over it to prevent me accidentally hitting it, and one on the outside I will push if car on fire after egress.

hope this helps!

I have this system in #401. SPA AFFF manual: http://www.spatechnique.com/store/it...D=715&catID=31

Unfortunately, they put both nozzles into the engine compartment. AER requires at least 1 in the engine compartment and 1 in the driver compartment so look at your rules to make sure you meet the minimum at least.

I'm looking to relocate and extend the system and so looking for a good source for parts.

I like DrK's SaveMe-FtheCar strategy for a Miata

Of course, my car is worth a lot less than most on this board (my friend Jeff who did a head-over-heals roll just replaced his car for <$10,000 not counting any money he'll get out of his old car). But the car can always be replaced...

I have this one - very similar to N0tt0N's but much larger bottle which is also available in alloy to save a few (very few) pounds, and has the 6 nozzles I mentioned earlier.

Martin - OG Racing sells the 6mm decabon tubing, T's and nozzles. The nozzles are pretty expensive, and if you read this thread carefully and do the math, you might be able to find someone who has an unused one in his garage...

Absolutely it does.
Lesson one - have a freaking clue
Lesson two - don't let Harris get in the car
