Fire Extinguisher - Mounting and Where to Buy?

[t6dpilot]

I need to get a fire extinguisher for my car and wondered where is the best place to get these? I am leaning towards chrome, but have not decided yet. Where are you guys buying your extinguishers and how are you mounting them? Pictures would be great. Thanks.

Scott, I attached mine to the plate over the shifter tunnel in the rear of the car, behind seats. That way, I did not drill anything really except that plate that is attached with 4 screws.
Its where you access the shift coupler.

I don't have any pics handy though. Got mine from here ...
www.H3RPerformance.com
don't know why really, must have searched here or on pelican and gotten recommendation.

edit ... i see that it is same place as Rich put his ... see photo above ...

Brey-Krause make some very nice mounts. Here is a non-specific one.

Thanks guys for the responses. I think I am going to go with the H3R extinguisher. Red is going to be the color. Chrome looks great, but too much bling for my period looking car - I think. Great ideas on the mounting Karl and Chuck - thanks. I believe that I am going to go that direction.

Scott here's an old picture of the BK mounted in my car.

It is astonishingly easy to fabricate a mount to go in front of the driver's seat. A bit of aluminum from your corner hardware store, a couple of small nuts and bolts, and an hour or two of time will do it. My current mount, in a car with a fixed seat, uses the bracket supplied, maybe 15" of 2" x 2" aluminum angle, and two 1" x 4" aluminum strips.
It is just as easy to fit something to a stock seat, sandwiching an aluminum strip between the seat proper and its mounting bracket. This will allow the fire extinguisher to move with the seat. Maybe $10 and a bit of paint or polish to make it beautiful.
