Where do most of you mount your Fire Extinguisher (if you have one in the car)? and what type is most common?
Not a track car, just a DD. Roy. |

Unfortunately, the cars are up in Wisconsin at our cottage and I'm back in Chicago @ home, so I can't post any pics currently. If you just get the largest width piece of angle iron they have at the hardware store, two small straight pieces of metal (1x4 inches), and some small nuts and bolts, you can put it together very easily.
Cut the angle iron to the width of the seat rails (outside to outside). Attach the small pieces of metal like 2 small arms to reach back to the front seat mounting bolts, and drill/bolt them to the angle iron ( I welded mine, but not necessary). The angle iron should have the vertical surface facing down towards the floor of the car a slight bit in front of the crossmember. Attach the fire extinguisher bracket to the vertical surface of the angle iron where the extinguisher will clear the floor and the seat if it moves, and bolt the bracket to the angle iron. A bit of experimenting with exact measurements of your extinguisher will make it perfect, but the normal sized handheld bottles will fit fine. Someone with a bit of machining experience could easily adapt this into a kit part (Engmann?, others?) that would make it an easy bolt in adapter. |
