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.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: small" class=gmail_default>Interesting ideas,
but...</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: small" class=gmail_default><BR></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: small" class=gmail_default>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.</DIV>

<DIV> For street cars (i.e. not a full fire system), I've always used
simple bracket mounts that pick up the front bolts for the seat frame and
place the bottle in front of the passenger's seat, under the front edge.
Easy to get at, out of the way and clean. :)</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>On the lower part of the roll bar is good if you have
one,</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>On the kick panel on the passengers side can be good depending
on the size of the extinguisher </DIV>
