   For those of you who were thinking of installing a fire extinguishers
with the right halon mixture, size and means of getting the stuff to the
front of the engine compartment check out
http://www.safecraft.com/motorsports.htm for a company that makes these for
the auto racing community:  SafeCraft of San Leandro, CA.  800-400-2259.
The current 5 lb kit is over $320 while a new, lighter 5 lb kit due out in
September will be closer to $300.  The new cylinder will be thinner and
will not have the multiple means of discharging.   They don't have a number
on the new unit but you can fax them at 510 297-6932 with your interest in
the new low weight 5 lb kit and they promise to call for a credit card
number as soon as they are ready to ship.
   They do make a smaller 3lb unit which might in fact be enough...
   One of these and a 3 lb handheld in the cabin seem prudent.
