Was thinking off the front passenger seat bolts but theres those plastic trim pieces over them from memory and I'd rather leave them on but not keen to drill any new holes in the car.

I'm not home until a day before the event so I really would like to purchase something rather than knock it up myself at the last second Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93434-fg-fire-extinguisher-bracket/#findComment-1643667 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MK1 needs the trim removed Mk2 is planned to be able to be installed with the trims in place.

furiousgibbon Member 86 Member For: 17y 8m 8d Posted 15/08/17 12:46 PM Share Posted 15/08/17 12:46 PM I made one from some scrap steel that I picked up from the tip. This is the second one I've made, first was for my old XR5 and that was much simpler and sturdier. This one is a few pieces bolted together but it's been passed multiple times by some of the pickiest CAMS scrutineers I've come across. It holds a 2kg extinguisher which was a requirement for an event I was entering, most general track days only require 1kg. Trim doesn't fit over the top, couldn't be bothered designing something that looked good, just needed to be functional and easy to install/remove. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93434-fg-fire-extinguisher-bracket/#findComment-1643675 Share on other sites More sharing options...
