Fire Extinguisher

[d00dz]

ermmm..

Where can I mount a fire extinguisher? In a R33.

At the moment it's just sitting wobbling in the passenger floor..

Can I just screw into the floor of the passenger floor where the feet are? Wont that like damage the car?

Any pictures would be great also!

[made_guy]

don't they have little plastic brackets for a fire extinguisher? probably a bit small though i think. maybe they;re for a flare or some sort of weapon?

[d00dz]

Well the $20 extinguisher I got from supercheap does have the bracket, but what Im actually asking is if I drill screws to hold down the bracket where do I drill? Wont it damage the car if I drill the floor? o.0

Cheers Ray!

How much was the BFI one?

I just got a cheap one coz I'll need one for DECA. It is usually $30 but on special for $20 lol.

doodz, put your cheap one in the bin, or give it to your mum to put in the kitchen. what you want is the BFI 1kg extinguisher. It costs $50-$60 and by far out performs any of the cheap ones. Plus I would venture a guess that the $20 you bought has a plastic bracket? If so it is unnaceptable for any CAMS event that requires an extinguisher. Also, you will find most likely it cannot be recharged.

orly?

Yea like that RX7 at EC on that track day.. oh man FIREE!! 2secs later zoom it's all on fire!

hmmmmz Maybe I can return it to supercheap.. hmmmz... or maybe just try it out LOL $20 for thrills

Beer Baron: Do you know anyone that has used the CHUBB Fire Extinguishers? they sell them at REPCO for around $30 i think.

Otherwise: i wouldn't mind being in a group buy for BFI fire extinguishers 1kg i've seen them for around $45-$55 delivered off the net.

[Nismo_God]

yeah i got the supercheap on too.

prob mount it in the boot.....out of the way there.....or is there some requirement that its inside the car??

[GTshortie]

Brendan if your car is on fire from the rear end(boot area) how do you think you will access the fire extinguisher? Most of the hardcore guys are mounting them under the driver/passenger seat so pretty much under your legs you have to be able to reach it from the drivers side( cams requirement i thinks)

[Beer Baron]

well for cams events it must be able to be reached by the driver WITH seatbelt or harness on. so either under drivers seat, or passenger seat, or somewhere around the centre console is pretty much the only place.

I haven't used the chubb ones but they have a pretty good rep.

the BFI ones are good. I've used them and I've used some other lame-o ones (can't remember brand) and they were rubbish.

doodz, the one you want is BFI Dry Chemical Powder (ABE) Extinguishers.

This is it: http://www.firstaidsales.com.au/component/...emart/Itemid,1/

compare it's rating to the one you have. the BFI 1kg one is 1A,20B:E and again you must have an all metal bracket (the BFI one comes with it).

[Nismo_God]

I think thats the one i bought....i will check it when i get home...

[Beer Baron]

also, beware of buying fire extinguishers 'on sale' that usually means they are nearing their expiry date (1 year from manufacture).

[Nismo_God]

Didnt think of that....should think before buying...

but it will do for the time being....damn now i left it open to prove me worng....

[Beer Baron]

here is how I mount mine. metal bracket mounted onto alloy bar, which is the mounted between the two front mounting points of the passengers seat.

[Nismo_God]

is that set up so that it slides into spot? do u have to bolt it down?

im gonna steal ur design....

[Beer Baron]

it's bolted. the wholes on the end are used to secure it with the factory seat mount bolts.

[Nismo_God]

looks good....will have a look tonight...

[Beer Baron]

found a pic of it mounted. there is no passenger seat there, but you can just squeeze it in with the passenger seat still in place.
