    Fire extinguisher systems

    Getting to the stage where I need to think about installing one. What have other people with a mono done? Was thinking about perhaps a 4 litre bottle with maybe two nozzles in the engine bay and a separate small extinguisher in the cabin. Electronic or mechanical release? Either would...
