Make your own. See what DZVette did:

Or do what I do, just tuck it in to the left of the driver's seat when you're out cruising. Lots of room between the driver's seat and the rocker/door panel on a 61.

Not sure you can buy Halon any longer....Halitron is the EPA-friendly replacement but it's only 1/2 as effective as Halon. I just have a small Halon (bought before the switch over) in the glove box. Most other places are in the way in the C1 cockpit.
If you need more than this provides you should probably be high-tailing it out of the area anyway

For more fire extinguisher info:
Note that Halotron is 2 to 3 times less effective than Halon.

I have mine on the tunnel between the seats. I removed the rear section of the tunnel carpet and hand sewed the soft velcro in two places and then stuck the hard vecro on the fire extinguisher in two places,plus a soft section of velcro at the rear of the extinguisher so the glove box lid don't get scratched.

I used Super Velcro to attach it to the carpeting on the RH side, near the seat.

The above posts about Halotron & Halguard being less effective than Halon are true, however, Halon extinguishers are still readily available just about everywhere. They can't make any more of them BUT if have one, you can get them refilled with no issues. I have several of them in my cars and in my shop.
