Reply to "Fire Extinguisher bracket"

Stan Galat

I've got an extinguisher mounted in the floor, just in front of the driver's seat.

This is my 1-2 45 DLRA Dellorto carb, found during the spring set-up. When I pulled the air cleaner, I thought I was going to throw up. This happened at the Tour 'd Smo 2018 when my ignition pick-up loosened up in the distributor, and gave me two days of fits, spits, and backfires. I did not have the 7 mm socket I needed to get to the stupid thing (due to my science project twin-plug distributor).

I've got burned aluminum spatter all down the number 2 intake runner and into my head. I'm probably done for the year before I ever roll it out of the garage.

I'm semi-bummed about it, but the car didn't burn down and could have. All things considered, it's a minor bump in the road.

Carry fire suppression gear.
