WTB: Heinzmann Fire Extinguisher Bottle

[Mike_Moore]

Thought with the New Year I would try again!
Looking for a Heinzmann fire extinguisher, any condition to restore. I know I've tried here before
but it would be the finishing touch of my interior restoration.

Many thanks and I hope the owner doesn't mind my using this picture.
Best wishes for the New Year to all!

As I'm failing trying to find the real thing, would anyone have the dimensions of an original heinzmann bottle, as I may try to fabricate one!

thanks, Mike

Looks to me like a cast off scuba tank would do for the tank.

Cut the ends off and then weld them back together in the appropriate lengths.

The hardware looks pretty generic and in any event is hidden under the dog house.

The pickups inside, however, look unusual.

Mike I sent you an e-mail, bottle is 16" if you measure all the way around the bottle. it is 13" long from end to end and 5" if you measure across the bottle.

Does anyone have any of the German Diamond Plate? I need to make a new Doghouse

How about some current safety technology with Heinzmann graphics?

Hi Lee, thanks for posting that, first time I've seen the decals applied! It does look good.
That was to be the solution if I can't find the real thing, which system did you use?

Mike - I sent you a PM as well.

The fire bottle we used was made by Lifeline Fire & Safety Systems, which we sourced from Hotchkis Racing in CA. Lifeline is a UK based company with worldwide distribution, which is all listed on their website. I can introduce you to our graphics guy who does all the work on Gunnar's cars and did the Heinzmann stickers for my car. Let me know if I can help.

PS
I thought you would be interested in knowing that we built my '72 RSR tribute in Gunnar's shop sitting right next to an original '73 Martini RSR. We essentially copied almost every detail off that car when building mine, including some really cool one-off factory designs. I'm happy to share any photos that you would like if it would be helpful.

Hi Mike,
If I recall correctly, the set of Heinzmann stickers that I received from you were a little smaller that those that we ultimately used on the fire system. I believe I still have yours in my extra parts stash from the project. I'll be in Gunnar's shop and driving that car this weekend in FL. I can compare them and let you know what I come up with.
