When I got my car I bought a small 1 lbs. disposable extinguisher from Wal-Mart and stored it in the driver's side rear bin. I had seen others mount their extinguishers in very visible locations which I thought looked kind of ricey so I preferred to keep mine out of sight. Fortunately, I never had to use mine but I recently learned the extinguisher I bought wasn't large enough to be affective in case of a major fire and it would probably cause more damage than good because of the mess it would leave behind. So this time around I chose a clean agent extinguisher in a larger 2.5 lbs. size. Also I wanted to securely mount the extinguisher rather than just toss it in the rear bin like before, so I attached the mounting bracket to the underside of the bin lid with pop-rivets.

That's a great idea.:icon_tup:Thanks.

Thanks. No, mine has foam grips on the wings that hold the commander pretty securely.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, I superglued the wings to the size of the commander so it could not be adjusted. I clamped them snugly around the commander then glued, so that may be another reason it stays put.

Thanks and you're welcome.

Two years later...

I still have a little work I need to complete under the hood, suspension and undercarriage and install rear diffuser. Winter projects... :)

That is one hell of a nice car sir... some of the ideas you come up with are awesome too...

she looks great...

I'm going to ask though why did you go from Plateless 99 spec, to plated....?
