TLG Auto in N. Hollywood (Marco) now carries and endorses the Element. I've not seen and definitely not tested one myself, yet.

I'll be the voice of dissent.
Not a fan of fire bottles in the passenger compartment. Usually a mounted by flimsy brackets that fail to hold the bottle in a crash. Now you have a loose 5-10 pound projectile in the passenger compartment. I've had the opportunity to see both sides of this in play. As previously stated by others a small hand held is of limited use on a fuel fire. In my case, it wasn't enough to put out the fire. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I've also seen vehicles in track day related crashes where the fire bottle came loose. Luckily driver had a helmet on. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Put in Trunk or Frunk. Maybe one in each but I'd keep it out of the passenger compartment. |

Here's my fire solution(s). I have a BlazeCut system installed under the lid. I do not use a rain tray since I NEVER drive in the wet. I painted the BlazeCut tube black so that it does not show through the engine cover. You might also notice the engine deck lid steel cable restraint on the left side so that when I pop the lid, the hinges aren't slammed and worked until breakage ensues.
And just in case I have a cabin fire, I have a Kidde extinguisher inside my custom built center console box..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)    |

In my country you can't pass tech inspection if your extinguisher isn't motorsport rated,the same size/type household ones only have flimsy metal mounting brackets,my 2 motorsport rated one's have a much heaver construction and very sturdy over-centre clips,there is a difference in price but well worth it to know they can't come loose. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) I think this may be the ticket but in the cabin Element Fire Extinguisher Group Buy and Rennline's Newest Fire Extinguisher Mount! This may be the set up I will be using for my 6 Bob B |
