[ssxRicho]

made from a piece of aluminium I found in the scrap bin at a truck place..

took 20 mins to make and its like 6mm thick too, so not going anywhere but meant I needed longer bolts...

Mine is the same, though 3.5mm from bunnings.

[ARTZ]

yeah, I saw it in another thread somewhere and built this the next day

[blah_blah]

I'm actually surprised they OK'ed that without washers under the bolt head.

[emts]

oh well Looks like I'm coming to sandown,

Some one has to turn up to keep an eye on folks

if my tax arrives might even enter!

[dkbcleaner]

I'm just tossing up whether I should buy the 48's Traction have on special or just run the KU36's again, there might be another day left in them, I hope...

Mine are the same, Stainless M6 cap screws with nylock nuts, no washers on 3mm alloy strap. The scrutineers were wrapped with the install, compared to some of the other ones they had seen last Saturday.

Oh Martin, I knew someone would complain..where would you like to see washers mate, I'll put some there for you ok..I'd love to lend you entry fee too mate but I had to beg and plead with the finance dept myself.. I find the trick is to ask just before they're about to climax as they will enthusiasticaly say yes to anything ..Bar that Just sell a kidney or something you know it's worth it.

Just used a facebook picture for the photo. Cams processed and should get it next week

Here is mine, it took about 20 minutes to make. Aaron's is the same.

[blah_blah]

Looking very shmick there Scotty

[ARTZ]

Don't need a photo..

What happened to the fancy spacers you were making Scott.?

[scotty nm35]

I only fitted them on the drivers side for now, mainly because I don't sit in the passenger seat often. I tried out the bitch seat today and it definitely needs spacing up 10 or so mm at the front.

When I did mine the cams regs asked for body washers both sides and 2 x M6 bolts.

that said just glanced at the current regs and they have removed mounting info other that it must withstand 25G..no idea how scrutineers can test that!

So I withdraw my comment looks like it would pass current regs

[scotty nm35]

Its a bit pointless when the extinguisher bracket is the weakest part.

I think they just yanked on it to make sure it was sturdy, it didn't move.

[ARTZ]

I doubt my brain would survive 25G ,so fire extinguisher mounting becomes irrelevant at that point.

[ssxRicho]

There are no washer for the seat.....

1. You don't want the fire ext under the brake pedal!

[scotty nm35]

So ban it from the drivers side.

[ARTZ]

Man there's no way that extinguisher is getting past my legs, even if it did its not going to fit under the pedal..

It can easily be mo ed to the passenger side anyway should officials complain

[ssxRicho]

If it's flying around the cabinet at PI it could end up anywhere.

End of the day, it's common sense. No teck screws, bolts that are made from metal and not plastic (zipties) and attached in two locations so it doesn't swivel all over the place.
