fire extinguisher mount

[SteveO_71]

Here is one way to mount an extinguisher that I just put in. The seat bracket is from Summit:

It doesnt get in the way and its handy if needed. Beats having an extinguisher rolling around in the back or in the trunk.

Just the bracket under the seat:

That looks like a great idea. I never go without one in my vehicle. I was at Bristol at the drags in 1969 and we were in the parking lot trying to get out. A couple rows up we see the smoke and get out and this brand new dodge charger has smoke coming out of the center of the dash. The guy is out has turned the key off but getting worse. He opens hood and tries to disconnect the battery but cannot, he tried to break the cable but could not. By then flames are coming out and it is toast. They could not get fire equipment in because of all the cars leaving the lot. Ever since then I have carried one and keep a wrench for battery cable in glove box. I have used extinguisher twice on other people vehicles.

Probably a good idea to have a one of those green knob battery disconnects in use. Also handy when working on the car and need to disconnect all power.
