Cams Approved Fire Extinguisher Bracket?

[DattoP510]

Does anyone need a CAMS approved fire extinguisher bracket for Philip Island?

CAMS scrutineers are currently cracking down on poorly mounted extinguishers. This bracket has recently passed CAMS scrutineering at Sandown and the comment made was “that’s what I like to see, nuts and bolts”

Because i couldnt find any for sale i developed my own and have had a few extras made. these are for sale $90 ea to cover some of my costs and time.

Suits R33 & R34 GTR and should also fit non GTR?

I have M6 high tensile bolts and nuts so will included these.

Very nice! some 1kg fire extinguishers come with a basic metal bracket which most people use to mount it. I'd get one of these just for the cool factor, but I don't have a GTR

you can get cams approved extinguishers from bunnings with the bracket included for like $30.

i think the cams rule update was that they needed to be bolted and not screwed in.

im sure someone will correct me if im wrong.

You will need to use this bracket to mount the one included with the extinguisher that you buy. Not sure about the Bunnings extinguishers. CAMS required at least one metal clip to hold it in place.

a picture etc....

holy shit, that looks awesome! nice design. ill have a look tonight at my one but yeh it comes with a bracket which has two metal clips.. but mines not bolted, just screwed in, mines not being tracked, its there as a just in case thing.

Thanks for that, I see you have the M35 Stagea, nice car!

Even if your not tracking your car you dont want it come loose in an accident! CAMS schedule H says the bracket must withstand a deceleration of 25G so if the extinguisher weighs 5 kg? then thats 125kgs of force. I havent tested this (and hope i never do) but am very confident it would be fine because it is solid as a rock. anyway the bracket that comes with the extiguisher will give before my seat bracket does.

hey you made me think, it may fit older Stageas. arent they based on the R33 Platform? does anyone know if you can bolt R33/34 seats stright into a stagea?

[Sunkist]

thanks man!

yeh i havnt checked either lol i think theres a screw in each hole which is like 8 screws all up, so its no moving!

yeh the c34 stageas im pretty sure are interchangeable with the R33. maybe post in the stagea forsale thread.. a few of em track so it may be worthy!

i need a new spot so if you make em for the v35's, ide be interested!

Very nicely designed, shouldnt have any problems with the extinguisher hitting the chair now

Looks great, I have a single piece of metal with 2 holes that serves the same purpose. Not as pretty as that one and can get in the way

Great idea, the seat bolt holes are spaced the same in GTST as well.
