How do you have multiple actuation mechanisms? I have a brand new =
FireBottle system and it has one handle that unleashes the pressure in the =
bottle by pulling the wire that pins the valve.

That said, when rebuilding the Spitfire, I chose an SPA aqueous foam system=
with 4 distribution nozzles and 3 actuators; one outside, one on the dash =
and the bottle handle itself.
