Anybody use the Rennline seat mount? Not sure where I want to put a fire extinguisher, but this looks like a neat solution without making holes. Any pics of other mounting places appreciated. On my last 914 I just kept it behind my seat!

Thought I should have posted about the limitations of Halon...

Brant just showed ONE of the drawbacks!

And this isn't Halon specific, it's refrigerant specific!

Most refrigerants are heavier than air, lots heavier.

I trace leaks from below in my business.

Most are oxygen dispersal agents.

You CANNOT tell you are not breathing when you're in a cloud of refrigerant but you're NOT!

It's supposed to be one of the least painful ways to commit suicide...

1 Don't breathe within the cloud.

Burning refrigerant makes dreadful chemicals. Burning R12 makes phosgene gas!
I don't think Halon and R134 are quite the same, but I don't give a shit; not breathing any of them.

2 Don't breathe at all until you are well away from the burn and upwind if possible!

Liquid refrigerants normally go through a rapid phase change to a gas when exposed to atmospheric pressure. With R134 it can create a temperature drop of 100+ degrees. It is MORE dangerous than fire to human flesh.
Almost instantaneous frost bite!

3 Don't get any liquid on you AT ALL!
