Still feeling paranoid about mounting the rear plate with little clearance, so I made some rubber pads behind the screw holes, and cut some screws down to about 1/4" long.

Front plate on. The clearance behind the bracket is bigger up front, but I still cut the screw lengths down to about 1/2".

Now I need to mount my fire extinguisher someplace. I have one in every car, and especially want one in my 914. So far, I like this location best. Any other ideas?

When you auto-crossing this car?
I mean that's the most important thing at this point, eh?

I love your car; is it possible to fabricate a bracket to attach the fire extinguisher to the bottom front of the passenger seat? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I decided to try this position, as most out of the way, protected for the trigger, and in reach of the driver. I thought about creating a bracket to bolt to the seat rails or bottom, and might try that someday.

Meanwhile, I will try screwing the bracket into a plywood block that I will glue to the floor. I figure this is smarter than screwing directing into the floor.

I used some hardwood plywood, about 5/16" thick.

I drilled some holes for mounting screws, and scored some grooves for better gluing.

I painted the strip black and glued it in place. Tomorrow I will see how strong the attachment is.

Fully on board with the extinguisher but thoughts on doing a vinyl wrap or painting that fire bottle black or something - unless there is some rule against it? That interior and the whole car, quiet honestly is too nice and could do without that bright red visual distraction.

The plywood seems pretty well stuck on, so I screwed the bracket in place.

View from driver seat. I can also reach the extinguisher while seated.
