I noticed this in an Exige that's for sale at Ron Tonkin (Portland, OR). I have been stowing mine on the ledge behind the passenger seat braced by a Styrofoam block (tacky). When I saw this, I got busy with 1.5" adhesive Velcro hook on the Kidd's mounting bracket and Loop on the aluminum foot plate just to clear the front of the passenger seat and center between the sill and the console. Perfect! I have been agonizing over this. I couldn't see it. Duh!

If you look carefully, you can see the mounting bracket for the fire extinguisher from Sector 111. It uses the front passenger seat bolts to mount. Completely removable.

Sector 111 solution, $400.00 + shipping. Walmart, $40.00. Halon vrs. sodium bicarbonate. Hmmmm.

The sector mounting isn't that study that's my only gripe.. I think it could easily snap (in an accident) and send a 10lb missile through the car.. Yes I do have this in my car and plan to come up with something a little more solid.

Mine shakes a lot. Keeps slapping at the bottom. I need to remove it and attach some rubber feet or weather stripping.

As you know, it's fastened at the rear corner sides at the front seat mounts, but there's no attachment at the front point. This is where it flaps around.

The bracket itself is $39.99. Some rubber feet, a halon extinguisher, and you are all set. Hmmmmm.

It will be interesting to see how well it holds up to standing on the brakes at 40MPH. I seriously doubt it would pass tech inspection if you are tracking it.

You know, I took the car out today to test that very situation. It passes the brake check with only the plastic bracket of the Walter J. Kidd stressing forward a little. I don't track the car so the fire department is a "just in case" safety device. That Velcro is amazing stuff. 6" X 1 1/2" pad has got some bite!

My extinguisher is to large to mount this way. Does anyone know if drilling into the side rail will compromise the integrity of the chassis.

Well the factory is not " shy" about drilling excess holes in the rail ...

Will probably put it on side rail right at floor level to relieve stress on screws.

Anyone? Why does my id pic have such low res? Original is high res.

didn't like the red that sector111 offers so i bought a similar can but in chrome. halotron is $150 vs. halon @ $300. neither affect electronics which is why they are used in vehicles, unlike a common 'baking soda' extinguisher.

the kit should have come with some rubber feet in it. it's pretty thick at about 0.5"

I have the chrome polished Sector 111 setup with their bracket and rubber pads. Never had a problem at the track. A LOT of money for an extinguisher, but solid mounting and looks good. I also have people ask if it is a NOS bottle!

The sector mount has hooks where you mount it. If the seat is about to fall off it will hold to the bolts. I have a double NOS bottle mount and they are very secure!
