Hi all,

Can anybody recommend one to sit in front of the passenger seat on an R500?

Cheers,
Lee

Thanks. Lacking any information on that product page... Is it gas, foam, dry? Does it come with all the bits required to trigger? Inside nozzles and engine or just engine?

Cheers,
Lee

Bin the standard cables & buy stainless ones. The will still work when you need them too. Trust me.

Ok, but can't see what it comes with and it seems a little 'cheap' to me. Was looking at Demon Tweeks kits and they seems about £500 ish for a decent mechanical effort. What's the issue?

Lifeline sell them direct, or someone like JJC on eBay. Extinguisher, pull, nozzles and tube. They are AIFF.

2.25l mechanical plumbed-in.

Seems good value to me. Although branded JJC the small print on the reverse says they are manufactured by Lifeline. The Caterham equivalent kit comes with 3 nozzles whereas the same system from elsewhere will only have 2 nozzles as advised to me by Lifeline

Perfect, thanks. Will have a look at other kits to see how they compare.

Cheers all!

Looks good. Think I will use an electrical trigger though so I can disable, this one looks good to me:

Can you not disable the mechanical ones? (Just put the pin back in)

Yep, but can't imagine it's hard to overcome that.

The Caterham one has everything needed to install it. It's AFFF.
