Yeah it's for your own good. Don't show up without one.

So can I use cable ties to fix the bracket of the extinguisher to the seat rail adjustment bracket thingy or does it need to be fixed to the car in a special way?

I was gonna just leave the thing in the glovebox hehe but cable ties are sufficient yeah?

Cams handbook says it must be bolted (not even tech screwed) to the body. Probably just a good idea to do it properly once? Do a search, I'm sure people have published their simple solutions.

Dave I understand you don't want to drill holes in your new car, and we don't expect you to, but your going to need to come up with something slightly more creative than cable ties. Sorry.

It needs to be securly fastened to the car somewhere.....

Can I suggest that you look around inside your car for somewhere there is an existing bolt. Such as seat rail, seat belt anchor point, centre console mount mounts, just something that you can remove and existing bolt, then replace the bolt back in it's spot with the extinguisher bracket in between. You may need some oversized washers to get this done, or you may need to drill a slightly bigger hole in the fire extinguisher bracket.

The way a lot of us do it in the GTR's is to remove the bolt where the rear lower seat mounts to the body of the car, and put the bracket between this bolt and the body. If you imagine you were a rear passenger this bolt would be touching your calf muscle. (back of your lower leg) See if the taxi has something like that.

Good luck.

I beg to differ, Leigh and I made mates with the course car guys at Sandown cause they thought our matching flannies were funny. You never know frysy, I might just have a little present for you this weekend, just for being a nice guy.

Surely that would put it out of reach for the driver, defeating the purpose? Its a big taxi remember?

In the fraud the front seats fwd/back adjustment is a thick metal bar that goes from one rail to the other, I was gonna use some big fark off cable ties to fix the bracket there. I'll try a D-Shackle or similar type bolt around the same bar. Either way, I'll ensure there is a metal fastener being used somehow.

crikey! nice link

Gotcha...

[SS8_Gohan]

is the DECA skidpan harder on tyres than normal road surface?

[Belsil80]

think carpark concrete. very slippery.

[SS8_Gohan]

so does that mean it's actually not AS wearing on tyres as normal road surface?

[Belsil80]

that is correct. the back track however is normal road surface, so will chew up your tyres a lot quicker. (we spend most of the day on the skid pan so not to worry.)
