Installing fire suppression system
I'm slowly installing a Safecraft Halon fire suppression system in my FIA. I mounted the tank in the trunk, horizontally, against the trunk bulkhead. I'm routing the metal tubing through the side of the trunk, and along the frame rail with the battery cable. I have four nozzles, one each for the driver and passenger, and two under the hood. The plan is to put the driver/passenger nozzles in the foot wells, and then the two under hood nozzles on the top of the foot well boxes, pointed to the engine. The objective is to fill the footwells and engine compartment with Halon in the unfortunate event of a fire. I have a 5 lbs bottle of Halon.
All the fittings are flared. All line bends are by tube bending tool. 
Anyone have any suggestions or ideas that I may have overlooked?
Anyone else take a deep, hesitant breath before you start drilling holes in your Cobra...
