    Where is the best place to source a backet and extinguisher OEM for 360 CS? Ricambi says they don't sell any longer. Dealers are pricey and no guidance on timing. Thanks.

    Check with Eurospares ($300 for extinguisher alone) or Maranello Classic Parts.

    I replaced my F430 OEM powder unit with a Halon unit of approximately the same diameter. Fits the footwell mounting with a little extra spacing (Halon unit is 4.3" dia, while the factory unit is 4.5" dia). EMTs and auto hardware wizards along with published info and my experience in industrial plants all sent me to Halon. I can reinstall the original extinguisher if some future buyer cares about OEM, but my bias was towards what would work the best. You'll do your own research into the pros and cons of both types. Amerex #B355T Halon 1211 Fire Extinguisher - 5lb. Amazon.

    An EMT friend wrote this story: "2.5 pound would put out a forest fire. I put out a 2.5 ton utility cab truck fire. Truck was like electric utilities use for line repair in the woods. 4x4, size of 6 pasta rockets. Fuel line was off and some fool tried to start it with well over a gallon of gas in and on the engine, cab, floor when it went off. Flames WELL over my head, out both sides, him in the cab. I hit the thing with a 5 pound Halon extinguisher and it was OUT. It was out faster than the time it took you to read this. Puuuuuuuuuuuuuufff and it was OUT! (3 seconds?? Maybe?? no exaggeration at all)"
