I haven't seen on, but they're easy enough to make with a piece of angle iron, a couple flat bar extensions to utilize the front factory seat mounting bolts, and a fire extinguisher bracket. Seems to fit very well, is easily reachable if needed, and doesn't interfere with the passenger's legroom.

Here are some photos of my Halon fire extinguisher "installation". I used two very strong magnets that I acquired from an automobile dealership. They use these magnets frequently to attach license plates to autos for demo drives, dealer trades, or other over-the-road movements. Placing these magnets back-to-back on the leading edge of the bottom of the passenger seat, the F/E, which came with a bracket, is held firmly in place. As hard a I can brake, or as much lateral force as I can generate, the F/E stays in place. No movement, no vibration, and no drilling.
I purchased the F/E at a small regional airport that sells to the civilian aviation enthusiast......"Sporty's" in Batavia Ohio.

Check Rennline for a pre-fab mount. In a previous car I installed a 2.5lb in the storage bin between the seats (appearance group car), with the lid removed. Clean installation and easier for driver or passenger to reach in that location.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Rennline is a little better than most shade tree fabrication... Well ok, a lot better...

The Rennline looks great
Did you screw into the sheet metal?
or use the drivers seat rail from the side?
thanks

All I did was use a dog collar to strap it to the front of the seat frame. It removes quickly by sliding it out of the collar, meaning it doesn't need to be unbuckled.
I know this sounds stupid but it works great.

I used a velcro patch and anchored it to the exposed frame under the passenger seat. It's definitely a grab-n-go solution. My fire extinguisher had a wall mount bracket which gave a flat edge to place the velcro. I had to tip the passenger seat back slightly to get it to fit. Looks great and is very easy to access.

Iamchappy's looks just like mine, but I used steel as I don't have the skill and equipment to weld aluminum. This design fits perfectly and is totally removable if desired in the future without drilling any holes into the car.
