    Heinzmann Sicli Fire Extinguisher - what do I have here?

    I purchased a Heinzmann twin-bottle unit that came out of one of Monte Shelton's old race cars (don't know which). It has an inspection sticker from 1985. Stickers from both Heinzmann and Sicli are still there, either whole or partial. The omni-directional discharge head is attached, along with a pull activation mechanism that supports two (2) pull cables.

    Rough size is 270mm long x 260mm wide (about 10.5" x 10") and each fire bottle with diameter of 95mm (3.75"). Actuator mechanism is made of brass with blue-anodized hexagon aluminum discharge head.

    Does anyone recognize this model Heinzmann fire system and can help me date it? Also, where would it have been mounted in the race car?

    Best,
    Andy in New Hampshire
