So... how do you hang your fire extinguisher???

[chamox]

So, I got this fire extinguisher to hang from the third roll bar. At least that's what I thought it was designed for... but I'm not letting any of that near my paint!

Any ideas or suggestions? I tried taking that little bracket off but it was ON to the point that I was worried about taking it off and damaging the internals ( I think I could rotozip it off but... ).

Did that fire extinguisher condom come with mounting hardware, or is that a loop on the opposite side?

Charles: first my answer.

I have this one and don't feel it touches the rear Sports bar with anything but fabric, making scratches a non issue. I like it. It maintains a very strong but easily to detach in an emergency grip:

That said, the following does not answer your question but I hope raises a fair point for viewers, as originally told to me:

Fire extinguisher effectiveness as only as good as access to it. I additionally own this fire extinguisher but do not work for these guys.

Granted, these flare size fire extinguisher are not cheap, and fires are rare, but the property it might save could justify its cost, along with the ability to stick in the driver's door and always have immediate access to.

BTW: I am not sure if such devices as the conventional holder I linked get in the way of taking the soft to down completely. I rarely go past Sunrider position with my soft top.

I'll probably put your style fire extinguisher in another one of my vehicles missing one when I get around to it.

Cheers.

There are loops that attach it to the bar. They are not shown here.

That first product gives me an idea to try some pipe insulator. Might be a good way to protect my paint. Thanks!

i have the quadratec holder. works great. no scratches thus far

 

[goingsolo2]

I use this Bartact mount. It fits great and has a padded underside so it will not scratch anything.

I tuck mine under the left side of my seat. Inside the track.

Fits nicely, and it’s right where I’ll likely be when I need it.

$0.

I feel that I must remind you, Sir, that there may be children reading this forum.

They, like me, might be inappropriately inclined to giggle at the thought of a fire extinguisher condom.

They could be scarred for life! This is not a trivial matter.

Please be more discreet in the future.

Thank you.

I have never taken my soft top to fully open position with the conventional fire extinguisher (as opposed to the flair size Element one I reference) attached to the driver's side of the rear of the Sports Bar.

I had heard the fire extinguisher might get in the way. Is this true?

 

[brazos]

Of course you know I only reply to you in hopes of provoking hilarious replies like this one.

And you seldom disappoint me.

Salute!

I’m leaning towards getting the Quadratec Mountain Off-Road Extinguisher Mount (https://www.quadratec.com/c/video/mountain-road-fire-extinguisher-mount). It appears easy to install, too.

I have a pair of these on my 2-dr. Only 2 bolts needed to install & the bungees hold the unit securely.
You'll like it.

I am still old school and wrap my extinguisher in a sheet and tuck it snugly under the drivers seat for easy use and security. I have the added advantage of a sheet to use for ground cover or bandages which ever is appropriate.......

I also tuck my fire extinguisher under the seat.
