edited my entry to upright now.

Graham any news on this post as 2 weeks now since you last posted?

 

[Graham L]

No news to report really, I had hoped that some more people would come along and express an interest as with the current levels I'm going to struggle to get any more discount.

Will put a thread into the general section asking if anyone else is interested and close the thread at the end of September and place the order with Firetec, at that point I will contact everyone and expect payment to be made within a week.

Hope thats OK with all?

14. Alex4057 - still undecided about which way to go but deffo's am IN, anyone got any pic of the horizontal fittment?

I don't run a 2nd battery in the engine bay and don't think running against the leg will work for me as it will be a even more of a pain to change spark plugs round my dual carb inlet manifolds!

Also can someone explain the advantages of the differing switches? It's all a bit greek to me if i'm honest

EDIT* am pretty certain i'll be wanting the horizontally under engine compartment ‘roof’ fitment if it's where i think it is?!?

Hi I'm interested in this but am not clear on a couple of things:
1) whats the advantage of this type over the ones on JK for example? better quality?
2) the different switches (me too!). If I understand it correctly they are an extra function providing a warning light either option 1 green for good or option 2 red for bad? Do you need more advanced diy skills to install?

If this is I'd be interested in a upright with the easiest switch... is that the n/o as you don't need to install a test switch?

Sorry busy with the day job, if you look early on in the thread you will see an upright install on the n/s chassis leg, as you have indicated this might be tight with getting to carbs etc but it doesn't have to be set that far back.

With regards to the switch options:

LEDs:
n/o switch is closed under pressure. When the power to a green LED is routed via a n/o switch (and a fuse) the LED stays on when there is power, the wiring is intact, the fuse is OK, the LED is OK and the pressure in the cylinder is above 5 bar. This means that a green light is on all the time on the dash and will go out when the extinguisher is triggered as the pressure in the bottle has dropped

n/c is open under pressure and only closes completing the circuit when the pressure drops. Thus a red LED in that circuit will only come when the pressure has fallen, providing that the battery, wiring, fuse, and LED are all OK. If choosing a red LED circuit you should include a test switch to bridge the switch contacts to check that the red LED and wiring etc. is OK. This means that a red light will display only when the extinguisher is triggered, most people go for this option so they haven't got a light on the dash at all times, especially in the dark

Hope that makes sense and that I've got it right :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm still not 100% sure I've gone for the right install option but you cleared the switch question up for me thanks! Sorry for being a pest, Just didn't want to miss out and know your looking to wrap this up and place an order VERY SOON!

I'm gonna search for pics but i'm presuming this would fit above where your leisure battery is in the pictures earlier in this thread?

Cheers

Alex

[curly head]

does anyone know of the cut off date for this thread?

cheers

 

[Graham L]

Curly

I'm afraid thats down to me and my work commitments, I've just finished a manic couple of weeks work so am planning to get in touch with Firetec either this week or next to place the order and see what the lead time is.

Once I have a build slot I will then contact everybody askiung for their wonga!!

 

[curly head]

graham, no worries. money is there whenever you need it.

does anyone know if they are ok to use with a turbo install? turbo is up high in engine bay so wondered if that could cause problems!!!

 

[Bundy]

Hi Graham,
I know you're busy, but just wondered if you had a date on these yet?
Cheers
Al

No pressure, but will it be this side of the new year?
