looking at element style fire extinguisher.
can't get element brand in aus, but can get similar or identical product called FIRE STRYKER.
(can't ship element to aus from usual usa suspects - dangerous chemical etc under aviation laws).

you guys have any views.
think they have been floating around in USA longer than down here where the product has been around maybe for only the last year or so.

any good?

i'm thinking, despite the cost, having two of these might just be a very effective way to deal with engine bay outbursts. (crossing myself, hail holy mother, touching wood, etc). + looks like they will fit in the door bin without fuss of mounting the extinguisher.
