Default Where to mount a fire extuingisher

I just bought a 1LB fire extinguisher for the 72 vert and I am trying to decide on a mounting place. If anyone has pics of what they have done I would sure like to see them.

I mounted mine in front of the passenger seat using this bracket.

I mounted mine to the underside of the passenger side rear compartment door. Peeled the carpet off the top, drilled a couple holes, and mounted the backet....then glued the carpet back on. Don't see it, and I can easily reach it with one hand from the driver's seat.

Mounted mine on top of the passenger rear wheel well. Mounted it to a piece of 2" wide aluminum and then secured the bracket using the seat belt bolt.

Guys I started a new thread that shows how I built my own mount. Somewhat similar to what the vette works bracket does. Thanks for your input.
