Dan and List
I talked at great length with Jim Diest last year concerning the
installation of the COLDFIRE halon replacement system. While he was very
specific about the optimum location of nozzles and plumbing the system as a
"loop" he assured me that the new system is a vast improvement over halon.
Jim informed me that COLDFIRE is much more effective than halon because it
not only suppresses the fire, but removes heat to prevent re-ignition. As a
result, COLDFIRE achieves the same results with much less agent. Keep in
mind however that there are very specific installation considerations for
COLDFIRE, and that the new agent and older halon systems ARE NOT
interchangeable. For details, I would recommend contacting Diest.

Brian & list,
In some applications the anti-sub belt is not sufficient to keep the
driver
in place. An example may be the type of car Jim Bickford had which
was a
very small streamliner with the driver in an also reclining
position. The
purpose of this strap is to keep the driver from going UP into the
cage and
suffering spinal cord damage. The cold fire systems are OK for use
if
installed per manufacturer's specs.
