Good place to fit Fire Extinguisher

[heartbrkr]

Hi guys,

prolly been asked before, but i looking to put a fire extinguisher in my R33. Does anyone have any good suggestions on where i might mount one? I think the R34 have bolts underneath the rear seats, but didnt see any when i glanced before..

Reluctant to drill holes into cabin if possible, unless covered by floor mates etc. If it becomes a nuisance to passengers, then just bolt it in for track days etc. I think someone also suggested putting a bracket beneath seat rail.

Pic would be appreciates if anyone can be arsed.

Cheers.

Because of the odd shaped floor pan on 32/33s on the passenger side, I am going to mount my extinguisher on the door sill passenger side. Should be A-OK there...

There is a great place in R33s to mount the extinguisher without needing to drill any holes

Ha ha - thanks Duncan ! You are a sport !

Problem is that I can't spell exqutingwisher - so no good on the search - I guess I could copy & paste - but hey:

Yeah - I am lazy.

I was thinking out mounting my Super Cheap extinguisher to the A pillar - I guess not hey ??

Umm - I just went through those threads and only one of them was useful to me.

But none of them has pix.

So when I mount mine, I'll take pix for the crowd

use the bolt that holds your back seat down to mount the bracket. There is a bolt on both sides of the car in the back,near where your feet go

The extinguisher needs to be in EASY REACH of the driver. Strapped into the seat, it will be difficult to reach around and grapple for the extinguisher.

I've mounted mine on a strip of Aluminium fixed with the 2 bolts that hold down the front of the passenger's seat. (I used to have it on the driver's side, until I stuck in a Recaro on a Bride seat frame)

like this:

yeah, i should have done a search before.

i did find the bolt in the rear, was considering using that. depends on if i have time.skills to fabricatre a strip for the front seat. i thought the seat adjuster might get in the way. the bolts didnt look to line up easily.

I've mounted mine to one of the bolts holding the rear seat, passenger side. I tested it and find that I can still unclip it and reach it reasonably quick.

yeah I had no troubles reaching it there, and it was out of everyone's way since it wasn't at their feet.

OK, I have checked with one of the guys who will be scrutineering your cars on Sunday. He says that mounting the extinguisher behind the driver's seat will be OK, as long as you can easily get to it.
