'62 fire extinguisher mounting
Looking to purchase an extinguisher and mount for the '62. I would appreciate any suggestions you guys might have as far as size/type of extinguisher and possible mounting options. Thanks, Chris

I have a multi-purpose 3lb extinguisher, mounted to the floor in the little recessed area between the seat and the sill.

The one Frankie has in the other thread is no longer available.
I purchased this one: http://www.jegs.com/i/H3R+Performanc...X100R/10002/-1
It fits in the center glove box.

I have a 1.4# halon extinguisher mounted to the floor in my 62. There is a large space between the seat and the door that is perfect for this. I feared that it would be difficult to get out of the center console "in a rush". With this location I can be both bailing out of the car and reaching for the extinguisher in one fluid motion.

I believe the "2" designates the capacity of the device.
The "A" indicates effective on "Solid materials such as wood, card, paper, fabric, etc."
B is liquids (gas, oil, etc.)
C is electrical fires
