I have found a location for it now too. Ive taken out the two floor mat holders and will screw it down to floor. Hopefully there are no cables under it... the seat is still able to go into foward most position without hitting it and it looks hidden, will post pic once complete but first need metal bracket so if anyone knows where to get let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I do beleive the plastic one I have should be ok. The type of plastic that it is should withstand a BIG force. More than what a car crash would cause. To ensure my safety from having a FE ingraved in the back of my leg, I laser cut a 2mm stainless steel plate for the underside of the plastic bracket to stiffen it up. So now all I have to do is get/make a steel clip with bracing to go under the stainless plate and up over the FE. Basically the same as a metal bracket. Anybody know if there are any cables between the two front ends of the seat brackets (plastic things)?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual bracket is metal as well. I know a few guys at a hillclimb last year got turned away as their brackets / clips for the extinguisher itself is plastic.Only problem is I cant ever move the seat forward (but since its not a dauily and rarely sees more than 2 people its no issue). Its designed to be strong in case I crash. Last thing I want is a 1kg metal tube flying around the cabin.I'll grab some pics in the morning.
