Default Track Day Pro's - Extinguisher positioning?

Is that how you spell it?

Anyway my car has the Extinguisher positioned where the passenger seat should be, my little lad wants me to fit a seat for him, so i'm moving it. Where I have provisionally put the seat there is just enuff space behind to relocate the the extinguisher...

My question is does it have to be visable? it's a plumbed in system by the way. I like the fact it's out the way of prying hands etc, but do marshalls have to able to get to it? I cant see that they do, but I just want too check.

behind the seat isnt any good imho, fit it on the floor right infront of your seat.

Mark is that so you can get to it mate? No need in my case as there are 2 seperate handels... one inside next to the seat, and one mounted next to the engine kill swith on the bonnet!!!

if its a plumbed in system you dont need to reach the bottle,you just have a pull cable somewhere inside the car where you can reach it, and one outside the car so a marshall can also activate it
