Default Fire supression routing

Does anybody have some pics of a fire supression system install in a 964? I am looking for the best way to run the tubing?

Cheers


David

This is in my SC but it's basically the same idea. The bottle is mounted behind the passenger's seat. Two pieces of tubing come out of the end of the bottle; one goes under the carpet, over the back seat area, up the firewall, then through the fire wall where I put a T. There are 2 short pieces of tubing after the T and they run along the top edge of the engine compartment with the nozzles pointed towards the injectors.

The other piece of tubing comes out of the bottle and goes along the center tunnel, up to the footwell area, then curves back out towards the dash where the nozzle peeks out just in front of the cage dash bar and is directed at the driver. My cage builder did the little bracket for the pull. You can also see I decided to keep the handheld extinguisher in case of a grass fire or something.

You'll need a flaring tool and the directions said to use a tube bender although I have read here where some people do not use one. I did.

Here is my 944. - The black tubes are the lines the one to the firewall points over the headers in the engine compartment. The handheld is back-up.
