as long as it has a metal bracket to hold it in it should pass scrutineering

Actually the CAMS rules don't state metal but a lot of scruitineers think they do so it's to get one to avoid the argument.

Just like Homer did with Marge by buying her a bowling ball drilled for his finger size, and with Homer engraved on it?

It looks like a standard 1kg ABE dry chemical fire extinguisher. Looks a bit long to put in the car though.

The thing with these 1kg small dry chemical is that they do not last long. Perhaps 10-30seconds if that. And you must get the technique right in order to use a dry chemical one to put out a small/medium car fire.

Just spraying it in one directly wont do any good. You need to do a quick sweeping motion to smother the fire. Once it's used you need to replace it.

Otherwise the Dry chemical used will put out a fire if used effectively.

This link http://www.bigsafety.com.au/category89_1.htm seems to be the one that they are selling. 1kg one Exelgard.

these are good ones with metal brackets, at a good price. If you need an extinguisher buy one of these (race and rally sell them for about $50)

We have 3 of these in the race car
