I would think that today a more logical place to shop would be any of the 
racing speciality warehouse, such as Pegasus Racing:

https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/advcat.asp?CategoryID=FIRESYSTEMS

I know that race sanctioning bodies recommend (demand?) that at least one 
of the fire nozzles be aimed at the driver, but mine isn't plumbed like that. 
  While I understand the reasoning behind it, I prefer to reserve my fire 
extinguishing capability for areas that are likely to, you know, have a fire. 
  

My bottle is in the front trunk, with the discharge handle near the trunk 
release under the dash.   The plumbing goes to the top of the gas tank, then 
splits off and has nozzles pointing at the oil pan, and the carb.
