I got mine from Dan a while ago. It looks good, and so far I have not needed to use it. I believe he has some pics of my car and others with the extinguishers in them on his site.

Re: Fire Extinguisher interior mounts (Sigforty)
I LOVE mine, like Paul's, right in front of the passenger seat. My friend had a near disaster last week in his jaguar V12. He had an engine fire and couldnt locate his fire extinguisher (turns out it was in the trunk). Fortunately a pizza delivery guy happened by and they put out the fire with a bottle of soda!! :lol: seriously!! Anyway, when I heard the story I yelled at him and told him how I keep mine mounted directly in front of the passenger seat. MJ

I actually bought mine before the GP. I was one of the first people to get a Chrome Halotron extinguisher from Dan. I forget the price I payed, but it was around 130 dollars.

Re: Fire Extinguisher interior mounts (MNJack)
I think free shipping was the hook. Even to Canada. No regrets on the purchase: it looks great in the car and is a wee bit of insurance against fire. And C2s smell of gasoline all the time for some reason. That was one of my first reactions after moving over from a C3. I do not know the reason but apparently it is normal and accepted!!

Re: Fire Extinguisher interior mounts (79Fever)
You know..if that bracket is one of the plastic ones I've seen,I'm not so sure they would be safe or suitable for vehicle use.I would think if it got jostled around enough,especially in a accident,it would break or release and let that extinguisher go flying wherever.I know I wouldnt want to get beaned in the head with that-after the accident I survived and smacking my head on the a-pillar.Just a thought! :D :nopity

Re: Fire Extinguisher interior mounts (redson)
Its is a steel bracket and clasp. I still need to mount it to the floor yet. I might go with velcro to stick it to the carpet. I figure if a crash is hard enough for me to worry about physical harm from the extingquisher, that would be the least of my worries.

i looked at those for about 10 seconds, just long enough to see that i could make one of those in about 30 minutes for nothing!
:rolleyes:
i ended up putting it here instead...

IMHO, NEVER, NEVER drive a Corvette WITHOUT a fire extinguisher! I've had and seen too many disasters from Corvette fires. They really, really burn fast!

Re: Fire Extinguisher interior mounts (redson)
If you are any good with a welder you can make a bracket which bolts to the floor using the seat hold down bolts. Totally removable with no holes in the floor!
Mine is bolted to the passenger side seat mounting points. I can reach it easier than if it was under my legs with the steering wheel in the way. Just set it up so the seat is all the way forward when you design the bracket or you may damage the seat vinyl/leather when unsuspecting passengers try to adjust the seat.

Re: Fire Extinguisher interior mounts (79Fever)
Thanks for the pics. I had one like that in my 1979. The bracket came with the unit and had two mounting holes. I bolted it through the floor on the passenger side.
