Jack... good plan... we are dispensing Halon gas not a liquid. We have over 15 lbs to cover approximately 48 cubic feet of space... before you add a driver, motor, water and fuel tanks. All of our nozzles are quite small. I welded the holes, like the ones in the blue one, closed and redrilled to nozzle less than half... or about the same area as one of the holes in the blue one. "In a small area, you want the slowest release you can get to deprive the fire of oxygen as long as you can." I put that in quotes, because that is what Jim Diest told us... I don't think that changed in the last 30 years. Oh, those holes match the holes in all of our other nozzles.
Other stuff...Johnboy is currently self quarantined in Kansas... he dropped by to see Greg Peek, (yes Peek Roadster 210.5 in 1970) at American Track Roadster to pick up one of the wheels he is making for us to test fit. For my help with quickly sourcing (the Yard) and delivering the aluminum Rick and he used when he made wheels for the 500 MPH (so far) Turbinator he offered to make ours for the cost of the spun parts... at his leisure. He's had parts mostly done for a while... still working on the Moon attachment portion for his and my wheels... so he assembled and sent one for a test fit... Yes there is a lot going on.. we are getting close to having the bottom pattern transferred to the new bottom. JohnBoy thought the motor mounts poking through the bottom with slots would weaken the panel that has a lot of material removed already so I am removing the material that sticks through. Not too worried that there is not enough support for the motor... the mounts unbolt without supporting the motor... guess the other 4 hold it OK

Also one of the things I wanted was to have was the battery at the firewall... next best thing is remote terminals. We always fought with the grommets that we used on the original to pass the battery cable through the firewall... these fix that. Of course my belt and suspenders solution to the nut loosening from vibration over time was a safety wired lock nut.
