Where To Mount Fire Extinguisher

[Zaver]

Hey guyz, I will be going for the Drift practise at winton this time and since it is my first time i have to get a fire extinguisher fitted, So can anyone give me their views on where i could fit it within the drivers reach on my R34 GTT and where i can get the bracket from...

And if anyone has fitted it can they like put up pics of it and help me go about it...

Thanx guyz....

If you buy a a fire extinguisher that is made for a car it will come with bolts and a frame , just bolt it down. Thats what ive done.

Dude, there has been a Zillion, yes 1 Zillion thread about this - use the search function.

For an R34 GTT use the bolt that holds the back seat to the floor pan on the passenger side foot well. Undo the bolt, make a hole in the bracket if there is not already one and bolt it on there, you can reach it from your drivers seat unless you're a mega short ass. This will work as I had mine mounted there for track days.

If the fire extinguisher you have does not have a bracket don't waste your time. Go to Kmart or Autobarn and pick up one that comes with a bracket, they are cheap.

Zing!

buy one with a bracket. search for extinguisher in the motorsport section. there are plenty of threads on there about how to do it. also the extinguisher must be over 1kg dry powder type and must have a METAL bracket.

Thnx alot guyz.. That really helped me in where i should place it...

Just 1 more thing does it have to be written on the fire extinguisher that it is cams approved??

No, the fire extinguisher has to match a certain standard for CAMS, check the CAMS website for details, its a fairly common standard...and it MUST have a metal bracket to be ok for CAMS (from memory).

It has to comply with the Australian Standard - AS-1841
