Hi,

I have 2 extinguishers fitted

, one to the roll cage bar between the two seats, and one in front of the passenger side seat.

My mechanics fabricated a small bracket that bolts onto the front of the runners of the seat. Two bars run forwards from the runners. There is a cross bar horizontally in front of the seat, joining these two bars. The extinguisher and its mounting bracket attach to this

There are some photos attached, but it is hard to get perspective

In the photos of my car I obviously have race seats, but the priniciple is the same for the standard seats.

A couple of hints,

Be careful where you locate it, as it can restrict seat forwards motion. For this reason, if you only need one extinguisher it is best to put it on the passengers side

Also, make sure that it clears the lever that adjusts the seat.

GoGadget has similar brackets with standard seats

Cheers

Robbo

Hi,

Unfortunately for me, in the rallies I go in (FIA national and international regs) we need 2x1kg extinguishers, within reach of the driver and the navigator, whilst strapped into harnesses. That really restricts the position

Hopefully, none of us will ever need them

Cheers
