    Fire extinguisher

    Is there a good way to mount a fire extinguisher without making ugly holes in the interior? It's a street driven daily driver with a full interior so I'd like to avoid permanent uglifying of it. There's no roll bar.

    Someone on here has the 3URO factory mount. It mounts to the two front bolts on the driver seat. I want one

                  hmmm...ok Mr. Wheel Faller Offer.

                  Make a bracket that bolts to the front two seat bolts. Do not use zip ties.

                      I thought the point of having a fire extinguisher was to have it readily available for, well, some hot'n'sticky situations. Putting it in the trunk somewhat defeats the purpose IMO

                          I guess I'll get two fire extinguishers then :P Chances are the fire will be in the engine bay, it's not like the trunk is so far away......

                            uh...when your car is on fire that is VERY far away!

                            I think alex and i are the only ones that understand.

                            ^5 whooo alex!

                              Is this guy as stupid as he seems, or is there some joke I don't know about?

                              Do you mean the bolts for the brackets that mount the seat to the floor? I don't think tech would let me on the track with it zip tied so I probably won't do that. Although if zip ties work in that situation I might be able to use hose clamps instead.
