Default Fire extinguisher and mount

What mount and what fire extinguishers are you guys running? Think that's the next item on my list.

Yeah, I looked through some old threads. Saw that one and the BK mount. Was hoping there were more out there and more pictures. Thanks for the reply. Found some good info but unfortunately photobucket pulled a lot of pictures, and a lot of the items linked/described are now 404.

I've been looking at the BK mount. How does it hold the fire extinguisher? Trying to figure out how long it takes to pull the fire extinguisher off should you need it. I saw lingenfelters quick release, but it's also $250

The extinguisher is bolted to the BK mount using the bracket supplied with the extinguisher using the nuts and bolts supplied with the BK mount. It takes as long as it takes for you to reach over, flick the lever and remove the extinguisher.

My personal observations on the above picture: I'm not sure what good that extinguisher is going to do mounted behind the seat, especially a fixed mounted seat. Also, notice the seat belt clip ins do not have any cotter pins installed. I've also seen them mounted in front of the drivers seat. Not a good place should it decide to come free of the mount for whatever reason.
