Hey guys, I was just wondering where yall mounted your fire extinguishers, and how yall mounted them. Mine didn't come with any mounting hardware so Im not sure. I was thinking Either the passenger A piller, or on the right side of the tranny in the passenger boot. I would be worried about the fire extinguisher comming lose in an accient from the A piller so Im not sure about that. Any pics or ideas woul be appreciated, thanks!
Where and how to mount Fire Extinguisher?

well I think putting one on the A piller is a little ricey like you are trying to show it off, if your car isnt a all out drag car. In the passenger feet area would really cramp your passenger.
maybe the back on the floor where the driveshaft is. I dont have anyone ride in my back seat so that is a perfect spot for mine.

What would be the reason not to mount it in the trunk?
What is the reason to have one at all? I can count on 1 finger the number of times that I MIGHT have needed one.

As for why to have one, why not. Ive come accross 3 different car fires but was unable to help because I didn't have anything to help put out the fire. I had the money and figure it was a wise investment. Plus the chrome finish has to be worth at least a few FWHP and I need that.

back in the days my dad and I were able to help a guy when his car caught on fire on the side of the road....we always have a fire extinguisher in the trunk of our cars...you might not use it for years but one day it will be useful...worth the $15 in my opinion...be sure to check it every year...

Wherever you do mount it, make sure it's out of the way and secure. The last thing you want is the extinguisher to discharge while you're driving. Doesn't taste good either......

I'd agree with that. I can't imagine a situation when you'd need the extinguisher and NOT have time to open the trunk and get it. I mean I assume this isn't a track-only drag car, right?
I may do likewise, just for piece-of-mind...
