autojack Posted 23June, 2018 Report Share Posted 23June, 2018 I'm paranoid about my '88 911 catching fire, heard too many horror stories and my first car caught fire while I was driving it. An extinguisher seems like cheap insurance. When I lived in the US I had a small Halotron extinguisher from H3R (https://www.h3rperformance.com/) which I kept in the car. But when I moved to Oz I figured it wouldn't be ok to ship it, so I left it behind. Now I'm finding it hard to find a replacement here. I've found two full-service fire equipment suppliers who sell Amerex Halotron extinguishers, but I'm not sure they supply the public. Isn't there someplace I can order one online here? Presumably folks who race have to have one in the car. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autojack Posted 23June, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 23June, 2018 Yep, that's the one place I found! I guess I'll give them a call. I did find a lot of places that carry all kinds of stuff for motorsport, but their extinguishers are all dry powder. Kiss your electronics goodbye after you coat them in that stuff.

Peter M Posted 23June, 2018 Report Share Posted 23June, 2018 Jack, I’ll be interested in the prices you're given. Another good approach is to reduce the risk of fire in the first place and for later 3.2’s that means placing fuses in the leads to the the front condenser fan and the two powering the ash tray and heater control lights. Plus keeping the fuel hose harness on top of the engine crack and leak free too I guess! firstone and scashin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autojack Posted 23June, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 23June, 2018 I'll update when I get a quote. You're right, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure as they say. I've already fused the front condenser fan, and I have the other items on my list. Peter M 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter M Posted 25June, 2018 Report Share Posted 25June, 2018 Shane, Would they need to come by sea freight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autojack Posted 25June, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 25June, 2018 I believe the H3R site said they could not be shipped internationally with Halotron in them. Maybe that only implies air freight. I probably should have just stuck mine in with my shipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnno Posted 27June, 2018 Report Share Posted 27June, 2018 CAMS scrutineers are going to want to see AS1851 or AS1841 certification on the extinguisher. http://docs.cams.com.au/Manual/GeneralRequirements/2018 Edition/GQ09-Schedule H-2018-2.pdf scashin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
