Fire Extinguishers Options

[kenshapiro2002]

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!

I have the Rennline custom seat mount in my 911, but did not see one for the 914, so I went with this one for the 914:

and then added the Rennline quick release mount to it.

I have the same quick release mount in the 911, so I can easily swap the tanks between cars if needed (although I do have an extinguisher in each).

For the extinguishers themselves, I went with H3R Halguard Halotron 1:

The true Halon extinguishers they sell (Halguard Pro) aren't that much more expensive than the Halotron, but a concern was that if I ever need to re-fill it down the road, that the price of Halon may be extremely high by then - if available at all. And based on what I've read, you can't refill a Halon bottle with Halotron. However, according to the chart on the page below, the discharge range for Halon is 50% greater than Halotron - so that's certainly something to consider.

Note that if you ever do use one of their extinguishers to put out a fire, they offer a free replacement policy (but, I hope I never need to take advantage of it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif).
