I do a mod every year on the anniversary of buying the car and this year I'm thinking of a fire extinguisher. Actually I'm thinking of buying several for the Suburban and the shop too. I've heard the plastic head extinguishers warp from heat inside a car over time and lose pressure. Also certain types are really bad to use on cars as the chemicals do almost as much damage as the fire.

I remember somebody sold one with brackets to mount inside the Camaro years ago. ??? Looking for suggestions.

I have the H3R with their universal seat mount bracket. Pain to install the bracket and especially with the manual seats. Its not on the slide so once I set the seat in the position, nobody can move it to their liking.

Fasnuff was the member that sold one with the bracket. I almost bought it.

I might just buy a BC type extinguisher and keep it in the removable storage-luggage-container(?) that came with the car. As long as I can get the trunk open all is well😁

Try the Brey Kraus mount, it keeps the slide function of the passenger seat.
