Extinguisher mounting?

My next DE is requiring an extinguisher. Does anyone have any easy, perhaps less than permanent methods of mounting one?

Glad I could help.

I was hoping for a solution that might use the front bolts on the seat rails. It seems to me like that would be the easiest way to go.

A local shop here in Omaha, Sublime, makes custom fire extinguisher mounts. He's also made seat bases for myself and other people on the board. Top notch work.

Here's a link to see the mount:

Here's a link with some pricing/contact info:

If you decide to go this route, tell Mike that Tony sent ya, I get a little finders fee to offset my shop bill.

I had Mike@Sublime fabricate a fire-extinguisher mount for me. I'm sure he'd be happy make more of them. It also serves as a good place to attach a sub-belt if you have racing seats.

I looked up the price: $100. A bargain if you ask me, the piece looks even better in person.
