Mounting fire extinguisher.

[olliep]

Has anyone mounted extinguishers in the cabin? where have you put them and how? pic appreciated.

(i'll get rid of this thread once sorted to save clutter)

mine used to be tucked down the side of the passenger floor mat, next to the transmission tunnel. It is now mounted in my boot; screwed to my reinforced floor that replaces the cardboard that comes as standard!lol

ok nice one, i was thinking about putting it in the passenger well on the left just under the door sill. if i screw it in there is it going to come out on the ouside and cause issues?

the trim there is only clipped on, so if you pull it off you'll be able to see what you are screwing into as a number of wires run down the side of the car there.

Danny - if you did have a cabin/'bay fire, it would seem more accessible to have it in the cabin don't you think? And if you had a petrol fire (heaven forbid) then surely the boot is the last place you want to go?

Although to be fair, if you had a petrol fire you probably wouldn't be hanging around trying to put it out with a mini extinguisher

I have thought about that; but it is just inside the boot in a quick release mount, so if the worst did happen i'd be on it like a shot! just hope it never comes to that!
