Picture Request - Cabin Fire Extinguishers
Hi all! Apologies if this post is in the wrong forum (it seemed more applicable to the gallery than anywhere else), but I wonder if I can trouble you all with a picture request? I'm looking to put a fire extinguisher in the cabin of my Scoob (2005 STi Type UK) and I'm debating where exactly to fit it.
I was initially planning to rip off the rather nifty bracket I've seen elsewhere on this forum (Frayz's handiwork I believe?) but, having had a look at the seats in my car, even with the passenger seat fully back, there isn't enough clearance for the bracket and the extinguisher.
So if you have one mounted elsewhere please show me a picture of how you've done it. My aim is to fit one making the minimum number of holes in the trim - though none would be best!
Thanks!

FYI, I wouldn't have a flamebeater in the car, their no where near large enough to be of any use.
Having used 1 (not on a car I might add) it wasn't enough, better than nothing, but I think the expression is pi55ing in the wind its apt. I still needed a v12 powered extinguisher to get the job done.
I'm looking into 1kgs and bigger. My problem is mounting it, I have an MY09 and to do the front seat mount would turn it into a fixed seat. You wouldn't be able to move the seat forward, although if there is enough space in the drivers foot well, can't see that being a problem.
