Info. on Fire Extinguishers

You might re-think your interest in a permanent installation -you want to make sure there is no chance of it getting loose in the cabin (unless you are already prepared for major dental restoration ) There are very specific regulations on where it gets mounted - it has to be easily accessible to the driver in the event of need. Most installations are bolted into the floor in front of the passenger seat (parallel to the seat front).

Also, you need to verify size requirement for the extinguisher - certain race regulations require a 5lb unit...much bigger than what most people install in their daily/weekend driver. One of this sponsors on this board sells extinguishers. www.h3r.com

 

My old M-6 had one in front of the drivers seat on the floor, a great idea and totally out of the way. I'd get a nice racer standard halon unit, not the Home-Depot generic ones.
