Any installation with a “cowling” gives a supression agent a real chance of working to its best ability and when one sees how effective “monex” or a “halon” equivalent is it must be worth looking at as an option.
The former TFC F7F ended up with quite a fire suppression system in it. Dual bottles in each nacelle. The back of the engines in that aircraft are open to the wheel wells.
On sporting/racing vintage cars it was quite common for the instruments to be re-aligned so that all needles were were at say 3 o’clock at their safe operating max. This way the briefest of glances could check temperatures and pressures etc were OK.
