with Bill Vett. And most of the fire extinguishers I have seen have been mounted in front of the passenger seat - attached to the seat rails.

Here are a couple of pictures of my Halon fire extinguisher with the Brey-Krause quick release. They do not recommend that you mount it "head high" if you race. I modified the bracket to fit my Brey-Krause harness bar.
