I'm confused. You think it won't hold?

Nope I don't. Not so much the bracket to the car but the clamp that holds it in. Now if you can find a bracket that is crash tested then cool. Otherwise the trunk is where it should be.

I made an aluminium plate that bolts into the center console bolt holes. The extinguisher brackets mount to the plate. I did it this way because
1) It uses original holes. No drilling or screwing required 2) Didn't want to lose the ability to move passenger seat forward 3) For track days (and safety in the event of a crash) screwing a couple of self tappers into the center console is not strong enough. Can't help but think that the center console was deliberately designed to accommodate a fire extinguisher, perfect fit, and the little recess for the trigger. |

I have seen a lot of THESE being installed in racecars as of late. Compact, lightweight and efficient. Unfortunately I had just bought a regular style one when I found out about this style.
This is an old pic when I still had an interior, but mine is currently mounted behind the driver seat with a braketeer mount. I like it behind the rear seat bc in order to get it I have to have most of my body outside the car. It stayed in place for my crash at NJMP and hasn't given me any issue.

I thought about doing a small production run of these packaged with an extinguisher. Reckon there would be a market?
