some help please,

i will be fitting my plumbed in extinguisher tommorow and was wondering if anybody has got any pics of touring cars/race cars with the extinguisher so i can have an idea of the best place to mount it, as to get the weight distributed evenly

cheers

Thanks mate, that is what I am thinking to have it on the passenger as low as possible, I have the standard fuell tank, battery behind passenger side seat and put the extinguisher over that side somewhere to as I'm also a fat bastard lol

in the passenger side footwell right in front of the seat would be a good bet imo

Heres were mine is mounted, on the PS and on the rear seat rail, then ive run the pipe up the b pillar and around the top of the cage




You get the idea.

On the passenger side in the footwell or behind the seat. Have you done your plumbing for the nozzles? My old car had them aiming at the fuel tank, passenger lap, fuel rail, engine bay.

Put it where you like !
BUT only on a surface where you can nut and bolt it , not like the one pictured above where i suspect either pop rivets or a thread set have been used .Apologies if im wrong but i dont think you can get into that chassis section there easily .
these become lethal weapons that in the worst possible circumstance i.e a big crash ,break free and bounce about in your car ,fancy that ?

thanks mate, did you have to buy more pipe and a longer pull? i got 2x 6 foot cables and it doesnt reach to the scuttle, and not much pipe work come with it either



ive searched for pics of yours but couldnt find any

i havnt plummed the nozzles in yet, i still have the standard fuel tank so wont have one their, i got 2 nozzles with the kit so was going to use them both in the engine bay,

cheers

thanks mate, i was going to screw it, didnt think about that!


thanks mate, i will put it over that side somewhere i will call you tommorow regarding the spoiler,

cheers

Ron,

Ive got 2 10ft t cables,

My extinuguisher came with either 3m or 4m of pipe.

Try Rally Design, www.rallydesign.co.uk thats where most of my stuff comes from.

if you havent already, do not buy a cable version, buy an elecric one.

Jay,

agreed so much better

I got sick to death of the cables seizing or you come to scrutineering and the fookers dont work, or they stick and fray - just not worth that hassle, all great when brand new, but after a few month and a bit of weather theyre a pain in the ass!

Jay,

every one forgets to strip the cables out to grease them just worry about the date stamp but ur right about hassle alot cleaner installation

agree with the nuts and bolts, and make sure its within the cage, ours in the 205 is on the rear bench in the centre but there are always 2 people in the car so weight distribution doesnt come into it.

No need to apologize mate, it was self tapped into place, it WILL be nut and bolted in place by the end of the weekend!!

My old XR2 was bad for the pull catches on the outside seizing up all the time.

Also the bloody scrutineers when the pulled the catch for the master switch always shoved it back in which wears away the metal cable and generally isn't good for it.
