I was trying to install it in the passenger footwell but after numerous holes in the carpet I just could not find solid ground in a suitable place to mount it. So I took it to the back seat. Being 21, no kids and mostly drive my girl around I thought hey why not. Even a rear passenger would not be stupid enough to play with it (you would hope) and there is enough leg clearance for me (6ft 4) so it should be sweet.

That looks like a decent enough spot, don't like the idea of drilling wholes in my car though.

Alot easier to get to than the boot that's for sure lol. I was a bit hesitant to drill into my car aswell, but you cant even see the 3 holes in the passenger footwell that I left haha the carpet covers right back up.

Although highly doubtful I would not want it falling out and rolling around lol Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/64740-extinguisher-install/#findComment-967174 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might put one in mine soon after a battery relocation. I see you have the same issue as me with the rear vent's on the center console falling out, stupid vent's Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/64740-extinguisher-install/#findComment-967316 Share on other sites More sharing options...
