355 Fire Extinguisher Mounting

Way to go— looks good. When I needed a mandatory bottle like yours I zip tied the same mount and placed a rag in there to keep it from rubbing.
Yours is much cleaner and secure.

Probably lots of models with that bar 348 and 430 Scud for sure.

 

Well engineered, nice solution, like it a lot.

I mounted my extinguisher in the same position, on the seat rail, definitely the neatest solution without drilling holes. For me the seat stays in one position anyway., just put a sleeve of rubber tubing along the seat adjustment bar, slipped the metal straps around the bar and locked in place. absolutely rock solid and very tight, so no fear of it coming loose.

I was probably very lucky that my straps were the perfect fit, which makes Ed's engineered solution much more appealing.

This is a great and clean solution. Did you end up having a bunch made? If so, do you still have any for sale?

 

Sounds good. Please keep me/us updated and count me in for a set for sure.

 

Interested in purchasing these if you decide to go ahead with production.

I bought these for my cars: https://elementfire.com/

Small, easy to find a place to mount, no residue on discharge, works on all kinds of fires and best of all never needs to be recharged.

 

Oh wow, that is ideal!

 

I did a test with them and put it one fchat, and although i have one as a backup i was not that impressed
Do your own test with an oil fire and see if you get the same results

 

I'll take your word for it. I'm not a fan of wasting funds on subpar equipment.

 

No dont get me wrong i would not call it sub par for gasoline it will be fine for oil not so much.
Thats kinda what my test showed

 

Good question. I'd have to think about it.

 

I would think 20 to 30 bucks for a set and I will order one as well. Even though i dont need it yet

 

If they're anodized, $45

 

Cost plus 20% plus shipping for the first round.

Cost plus 50% plus shipping if you hold inventory.

 

What size is your extinguisher? Looks great.

 

May I ask who made the leather sleeve on your extinguisher? It looks like it was always meant to be there.

 

Hi,
I was very lucky, when I bought the extinguisher second hand the leather cover came with it - even more lucky as it was a perfect match for the cars interior. As far as I am aware the leather sleeve and the extinguisher are one of the original period factory options, I have seen the same in 550's and other 355's, so I am assuming it is the OEM option that was offered.

I have mounted it differently, because when I bought it, the original mounting bracket was missing, I had to buy two new safety locking clips to complete.

That was a nice find. Thanks for the reply.

 

Did you ever have a chance to put some sets together? If so, I'd surely like to purchase 2 sets, please.
