Where do most of you mount your Fire Extinguisher (if you have one in the car)? and what type is most common?
Not a track car, just a DD. Roy. |

I agree wholeheartedly about using a Halon extinguisher, but mounted mine just in front of the passenger's seat. Made a bracket out of angle iron that bolts onto the stock front seat mounts, and then mounts the extinguisher bracket with the extinguisher just above the level of the floor mat. This way, you can still easily reach it from the front seat position (with your seatbelt obviously unfastened at this point), but it will not interfere with egress/ingress of either the driver or passenger. By tilting the seat a bit, you can even adjust the fore/aft position of the passenger seat if it's a later car.
