Default Where to mount fire extinguisher in a 75 coupe?

Any good spots, can I use 2 short screws into carpet or velcro?

I bought a bracket for my '72, I didn't want to put any holes in the floor. Here is a link:

Mounts to the seat frame on the passenger side.

Thats a pretty cool idea not in the passengers way once in the car, good use of space.

LOL it was cheaper to buy one then make one.

I have a H3R halon fire extinguisher, but I've read that may not be the best for a car.

I have a Amerex A384T, 1.4lb Halotron I Class B C Fire Extinguisher. Fits right into the storage compartment.

Build a bracket for in front of passenger seat... Works great as it is not disturbing to the passenger when in place...

I used to have one stored above the right rear wheel shoved to the back of the compartment. It fit there nice.
