There are some good points on this thread. In summary, for me, the main concern would be under hood or under dash fire, and getting out of the car safely. I did sit in my cockpit and felt for "reach" and I think I have a good position picked out (should I mount this on the roll bar---still considering the drop bracket on the dash). The other is Halon as an oxygen displacement to remove the catalyst, and that spraying into the cockpit---other than the footwells---would probably be ineffective.

I have three nozzles on mine with a 5 lb. tank. I'm thinking two under the hood for engine protection and one under the dash for electrical protection. I have a 2 lb. bottle (chrome!) that will mount on the driveshaft tunnel between the seats to protect driver and passenger.

All that being said, I'm taking a second look at the aluminum drop down I had previously made for my dash and reconsidering it. I have a big red "punch button" kill switch that I don't want to mount into my dash, but tucked away on the bracket might look pretty cool. I have room for the fire cable and a power indicator light or extra switch.

I'll likely make my decision (uh, for at least six months...) and once I get it set up I'll post some pictures.
