      I mounted a small halon fire extinguisher between the
      fuel selector valve and gear leg mounting on the left
      side in front of the spar.  One screw went through the
      mounting bracket into an existing nutplate that is
      used to hold cover in front of the spar, and the other
      side of the mounting bracket is held with a screw and
      nut through the cover.
      
      I bought the 14oz size from www.safeair1.com and had
      it personally delivered to me by Monte!
      
      I think your best bet for dealing with a fire in the
      cowl is to turn off the fuel and point the nose down. 
      I doubt the additional weight and complexity of a FWF
      system will be worth it.
      
      See this site for more info on Halon.
