Not a lot of wiggle room in any direction:

Thats the prototype of the bellcrank linkage for the DTM installed...

That is a sweet setup that you have in that Herbie. Is that a NOS bottle that I see in there? And what is that black bottle under the dash?

Here is My Bug I call it "The Black Herb"

I like your black Herbie, very sinister.

No NOS here, the aluminum finish bottle is a Safecraft RS5 5 lb. Halon fire extinguisher system with spray heads set to the two throttle bodies and under the fuel cell. The black bottle is a Safecraft PB2 2.5 lb. Halon fire extinguisher, converted to B/C because I didn't want to risk Halon within the interior with my 3 year old boy strapped in the back seat.

I would have never thought to set up a Fire extinguising system like that in a bug. You are right I wouldn want to displace all the oxygen in a car either, especially with kids in there.

I did the Sinister Herb Look on purpose. Thanks for noticing. And I picked the Number 65 because that is the year of the car.

Like I said, this s a fully streetable Race vehicle...Every "T" crossed and every "I" dotted...

The way it should be.

And that is Sweet. Just not something I would have thought about.
