I used to run closed face but it gets hot pretty quick, and breathing is nice

In the event of a crazy accident I value the front of my head as much as the back of my head.

Put up with a full face helmet for 5-10mins or put up with a trashed face for the next 50yrs.

As a suggestion to everyone who carries an extinguisher, it doesn't hurt to practise using it. I would recommend getting belted up and then doing a practise run to see how quickly you can rip the extinguisher out of its bracket, pull the pin and pretent to pull the trigger. Even unbelt, grab it, and get out of the car with it in-hand.

I highly doubt it'll ever get used in a Texi day unless you have failing fuel hose or something odd like that... but personally I like knowing that if something did happen to my pride-and-joy, that I can reduce the amount of fire damage by being "on the ball". Honestly, it took a few minutes for me to work out how to pull the pin from my current extinguisher... it's a weird red "U" pin with clips and took a bit of force to pull the first time. Now I know!

I fab'd one up out of stainless.

Took about an hour.

Looks ok, does the job, and no extra holes in the car.

I just bit the bullet last time and brought a new extinguisher. Not to expensive and just bolted into the passenger side floor. I know you can get a seat bracket for the extinguisher that bolts where your seat bolts in, maybe try ebay.

car is in the process of getting work don.

So next time for shiz!

no mods or fabrication or buying required (except an extinguisher with a metal strap)

undo the bolt that holds the bottom of the rear seat down and bolt the bracket in there. secure, no holes, easy to reach
