Under seat fire extinguisher mounts

[Mover]

Can someone tell me where to buy a under seat fire extinguisher mount for a 69 Camaro. I did a search on net and didn’t find anything.:D

Most custom camaros don't have room under the seat for a fire extinguisher.

Most I've seen attach them to the front edge of the seat or to the seat track. Look at Scott's or Steve Rupp's cars as a sample.

Steve's: (he may have a better shot)

Most custom camaros don't have room under the seat for a fire extinguisher.

Sure they do.. a great place is just forward of the passengers's side seat. My extinguisher is from SafeCraft and had a mount. Then I just just fabbed a plate out of sheet alum and voila! under seat mount (well technically, in front of seat mount)

I will see if I can dig up a picture.

Thanks everyone for your input:D

That is what I mean, it is not under the seat it is in front or on the console or somewhere else!

I like where Steve mounted his and I was going to do the same. In the end, since I didn't have a console, I put it between the seats.

Here you can see the plate mounted with the Safecraft billet mount. This way it's held in place by the front seat bracket bolts. It's shaped like a T with a slight offset so that the extinguisher sites centered to the seat. We also put a slight angle (using a break) at the intersection of the T so it would sit right.

Come on Steve - You can get better seat bolts then those ! Doesn't Penny deserve ARP stainless 12 points holding your ass in the car ?

Very Cool mount and extinguisher!

Looking through some porsche mags today and saw an extinguisher mount that might be usable for some of you.

Whatever you do, make sure it's somewhere you can grab it fast! Noone thinks they will ever use them. I've used one on mine. :rolleyes: Mess is an understatement. I got away with no sustainable damage. But that requires a handy extinguisher.

I have mine mounted almost the same position as Steve's. If I had to grab it belted in there would be no way. I'd have a multiple of bad issues going on if I need it, could not get unbelted and my fire system did not work so I don't know if it would matter. (full fire system: engine compartment and fuel tank area discharge) However, I have thought for track purposes maybe mounting somewhere that I could grab fully belted in would be wise. ie. cross bar behind seats, I think I could grab it mounted between the seats?
Then logic would say it should be at the ready for street driving as well??

[Vegas69]

I just meant don't put it in the trunk or some other spot where it's work to get to it. More than likely it will be a fire under the hood or bottom of the car. There is always the chance of an electrical fire under the dash as well.
