    Hi All
    Looking to purchase a fire extinguisher and would like a posy one with a horse on it. Living in Australia not sure Halon is legal here. I have seen pictures on here with them and wondered where they came from.
    Thanks

    Hi Glen,
    I wrote recently about installing a fire extinguisher, a Halotron unit from Auto Fire Extinguishers | H3R Performance, in this thread: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/308-328/489814-installed-robert-garven-extinguisher-mount-my-308-gts.html

    The horsie on the extinguisher is just a sticker, I believe I got it from jimpo1 on the forum when he included it with a poster I purchased. I'd guess most extinguishers with the Scudetto are similar, just a sticker applied to whatever extinguisher is being used!

    Mine's a 2.5 lb Halon bought off ebay with a sticker added to it (also from ebay).

    Absolutely illegal here - dry powder or expensive approved stuff

    Halon is illegal in many parts of the world as it was announced as a ozone depleting substance after 1987 Montreal Protocol and the production should have stopped after 1994 worldwide. Try Halotron (supposedly direct replacement of Halon 1211 according to NFPA but environmental friendly), water mist or other chemicals.
