I know for certain that asking where (and how) to secure a Halon fire extinguisher in the passenger compartment will bring forth no smart-aleck, sarcastic or irreverent replies from anyone who frequents this Forum (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
Drilling holes in newly restored footwell, tunnel or dash areas is not what I care to do. Nor do I want it stuffed and padded behind the seat. If you carry a F/E in your original and/or concours 914, what have you done to secure it? And even if you don't yet carry a F/E (why not?), got any creative ideas for placement? Thanks. Paul |

I bent a thin strip of metal about 20ga, 1" wide, and about a foot long. I bent one end over the cross support in the floor under the seat, and the other end wraps under the extinguisher. NO screws or anything holding it, it simply rests in place. This way it sits neatly on the floor, partially hidden by the passenger seat. Its also easily accessible if God forbid it's ever needed! Here's the best I can do for a diagram:
