Bought a new extinguisher after my recent adventure.  My old one was kept
on the floor behind my seat, which made the garden hose more accessible
once I opened the hood.

I'm thinking of putting the new one on the tranny tunnel, just ahead of the
shifter, or on the panel at the rear of the passenger compartment.

But I noted that max storage temp for the extinguisher is 120F...

So where have you guys mounted extinguishers,  easy access in a panic, but
not in the way?

    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,
