Yeah it's for your own good. Don't show up without one.

So can I use cable ties to fix the bracket of the extinguisher to the seat rail adjustment bracket thingy or does it need to be fixed to the car in a special way?

I was gonna just leave the thing in the glovebox hehe but cable ties are sufficient yeah?

Cams handbook says it must be bolted (not even tech screwed) to the body. Probably just a good idea to do it properly once? Do a search, I'm sure people have published their simple solutions.

Dave I understand you don't want to drill holes in your new car, and we don't expect you to, but your going to need to come up with something slightly more creative than cable ties. Sorry.

It needs to be securly fastened to the car somewhere.....

Can I suggest that you look around inside your car for somewhere there is an existing bolt. Such as seat rail, seat belt anchor point, centre console mount mounts, just something that you can remove and existing bolt, then replace the bolt back in it's spot with the extinguisher bracket in between. You may need some oversized washers to get this done, or you may need to drill a slightly bigger hole in the fire extinguisher bracket.

The way a lot of us do it in the GTR's is to remove the bolt where the rear lower seat mounts to the body of the car, and put the bracket between this bolt and the body. If you imagine you were a rear passenger this bolt would be touching your calf muscle. (back of your lower leg) See if the taxi has something like that.

Good luck.

edit.

yep. thats right. gtr's eat grass and you dont make friends with flannel.

I beg to differ, Leigh and I made mates with the course car guys at Sandown cause they thought our matching flannies were funny. You never know frysy, I might just have a little present for you this weekend, just for being a nice guy.

Surely that would put it out of reach for the driver, defeating the purpose? Its a big taxi remember?

In the fraud the front seats fwd/back adjustment is a thick metal bar that goes from one rail to the other, I was gonna use some big fark off cable ties to fix the bracket there. I'll try a D-Shackle or similar type bolt around the same bar. Either way, I'll ensure there is a metal fastener being used somehow.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
