Show me your fire extinguisher....

[MM77]

As above.

 

Where do you have it mounted? And pics please

 

Looking for ideas for mine

 

BTW, i'm talking about the hand held type.

[Copey]

mines down the side of the seat, nice and to hand

 

[OldskoolSue]

Mine in my old laser,i am yet to get one for the new capri.

Keep them on the floor securely mounted-anything high up could become a projectile missile in a shunt.

down by the door is a no no IMHO, door gets bent and wont open you cant get it, take a hit in the door it goes off ect, on the tunnel is the best place but also the most anoying/untidey

In me disco its on top of the dash (makes it look more ruged)

in me recoverys i allway put it on the B pillar above the seat belt but cars dont tend to have that space so in me cars its behind the passenger seat where i can ge to it with or without somone in that seat

[MM77]

Very interesting so far

 

Glad I asked the question now.

 

Bortaf, what do you think of in the passenger footwell (ie just in front of their seat)?

Thats where i was thinking of putting it.

[SebringRS]

Mines same as Copey's down the side of the seat, ready incase anythin does catch light

[bigglesmk2]

If i ever finish my car im having one on the floor in front of the passenger seat

[antz]

mines screwed to the transmission tunnel in the passenger footwell.

[bortaf]

Only reason i put behind the seat is cos the rear seats aint ever used but the front one is and i have clumsy (read usually pissed cos i allways drive and dont drink) mates and that powder gets every bloody where

i did used to keep it by the door when i mini cabbed otherwise some pisshead would have set it off but the door had to open to get at the thing though i spose theres an argument against where i keep it now as well

If your short just dont put it too far away

Or get a plumbed in kit and fit it in the boot, run the pulll cable to somewhere you can reach it, plumb the nozzels in the right places, basic kit, engine bay and under the dash ..

This is definitely the plan with my Mk1 (ie, the dedicated track car and the one that will be visiting you ).

 

My Mk2 is a road/track car so a handheld is sufficient for this.

[meXEco]

I personally think a plumbed in ones just as necessary on the road-on track days etc. theres plenty of people around with fire extinguishers ready to pull you to safety-but on that favourite stretch of road you need all the help you can get-for the sake of less than £100 if you shop around too-should be near the top of everyones list i reckon.

In the mk1 rally car we got 2 under nav seat one plumbed to under the bonet. and one hand held one. One in the back and one in the boot. My dad had to many nasty stories of seeing his car keep going on fire in a midle of a stage.
