Looking through some porsche mags today and saw an extinguisher mount that might be usable for some of you.

Whatever you do, make sure it's somewhere you can grab it fast! Noone thinks they will ever use them. I've used one on mine. Mess is an understatement. I got away with no sustainable damage. But that requires a handy extinguisher.

I have mine mounted almost the same position as Steve's. If I had to grab it belted in there would be no way. I'd have a multiple of bad issues going on if I need it, could not get unbelted and my fire system did not work so I don't know if it would matter. (full fire system: engine compartment and fuel tank area discharge) However, I have thought for track purposes maybe mounting somewhere that I could grab fully belted in would be wise. ie. cross bar behind seats, I think I could grab it mounted between the seats?
Then logic would say it should be at the ready for street driving as well??

I just meant don't put it in the trunk or some other spot where it's work to get to it. More than likely it will be a fire under the hood or bottom of the car. There is always the chance of an electrical fire under the dash as well.
