I have a small Halon fire extinguisher that fits in the center =
console.
I need to check its condition and I'm not sure if that size is adequate.
=20
TBON shows the Rootes fire extinguisher mounted just behind the seat =
nearly
in the door opening. That seems like a good spot to mount one but =
today's
fire extinguisher are different in size so it will take some extra =
thought.
I wonder if the shoulder harness bolt location might be a starting point =
for
a mount.
=20
The Rootes extinguisher holder is the spring clip type as shown in =
Michael
King's photos which makes it quick to grab. TBON indicates there were =
4, 8
and 16 oz fire extinguishers available.
=20
Safety first and always.

Interesting ideas, but...
I don't have a roll bar, so those ideas are out. The extinguisher's
diameter won't let it fit under the adjusting lever on the passenger =
seat,
so that location probably won't work. And the same diameter issue would =
be
annoying on the passenger kick panel, plus its likely foot collisions =
would
release the extinguisher from its bracket. Annoying. So I'm still =
looking.

On the lower part of the roll bar is good if you have one,
