      This is what I have for Penny. It's a very simple design and you can get it in a brushed silver finish. The bracket is a very simple yet secure black wire frame that is perfect for mounting to the trans tunnel. I don't know why it says "chrome plated".. mine looks like the one in the pic and is brushed silver..

      You want something easy to get to but VERY VERY secure. It would suck in an ironic way to be killed by your fire extinguisher in a crash when it breaks free and flies toward your head.. ouch!

      Here's some REALLY good stuff if you want something nicer or a fire suppression system.

      Does anybody know of any extinguisher that is easily cleaned or does not damage what it is sprayed on? I'm thinking of something like a CO2 extinguisher that would not leave a residue, yet starve a fire of O2 to extinguish it. Is Halon a gas, powder, or other?

      What do these things do when used on the engine compartment or interior, as far as salvage or repair after usage?

      Steve,
      I just called and they said OBX doesnt make the fire extinguisher that you bought any more.
      I like this one quite a bit that you posted but its hard to tell how well the bracket works. Its only $39.95 too.

      fire extinguisher

      I purchased my extinguisher about 5 years ago. It is chrome. I know you said you don't want chrome and I remember APC has a brushed aluminum type one.

      If you are really concerned with clean up, then CO2 or Halon being a gas will be the better choice. I'm not positive, but had heard that Halon wasn't being offered in new extingiushers anymore.

      Dry Chemical would be another economical choice, but leaves a powdery mess when you're finished.

      Halon is a gas that displaces O2 to kill a fire.. the bad side is that you need O2 to live. lol

      I've heard it's not going to be as available. I also heard there is some sort of replacement that isn't as dangerous to human life but I can't remember what it is..

      Bummer that they don't make the one I own anymore.. it was a nice compact lightweight unit and it looked good as a bonus.

      I am thinking of some sort of fire system and a stand alone unit for extra measure.

      Pricey?

      It's expensive compared to the others so far, but I've got 100,000+ in the car so what is a few hundred more? It's also a Ferrari specific site apparently, so a cheaper one must also be available....the search continues!

      http://ricambiamerica.com/product_in...db25f80512d7a2


      That was a quick search!

      This may be the replacement you speak of Steve.

      Steves link is also Halon in prettier canisters!

      http://livermoreperformance.com/safe...e_systems.html


      These are bigger with brushed aluminum canisters available. The 2.5 lb extinguisher only activates for 10-15 seconds. I think I lik e the idea of having more than I need verses less. The 10 puonder is 550$$$$$.

      I have been looking everywhere and still havent decided what I want to get yet.
      1. This http://www.sporttruckdirect.com/Fire_Extinguishers.html However this is 8# and might be too big. They couldnt give me any dimensions. $39.00
      2. or the one Steve got. http://autosportz.com/accessories_sa...tinguisher.htm Decent bracet but not what I was expecting. $49
      The #2 on the list barely carries enough material to put out any fire. Its mainly for looks.



      3. or one from local store and make my own bracket

      I may be wrong, but this is what I remember from the Coast Guard course on Boating I took several years ago. Halon doesn't really "displace" oxygen. It was explained that, as we all know, fire is really a chemical process, the rapid oxidation of the base material. Halon is chemically more "attractive" than oxygen in a fire situation, but doesn't oxidize. Hence, it stops the fire. Since our lungs don't work the same way as a fire, we can breathe when there is a fairly large concentration of Halon in the air, but just not very well. So, they said that it would support life, but you might feel light headed, or even pass out. This was in a boat environment, where the automatic system had discharged when you didn't know it. Like when you were sleeping.

      I also understand that Halon has been banned before (I think it's a CFC) but the ban was lifted because nothing came close. In fact I remember watching the FAA testing replacement products for putting out engine fires on Jet Airliners. All the major companies were there, BASF, Dow, Etc. and nothing came close at all! Every time they resorted to the back-up Halon system!

      Anyway, like I said, I might be wrong on this.

      I read that companies are no longer able to produce Halon, but they can re-capture it and sell it. If these Halotron ones work just as well, then maybe it doesn't matter anyway.

      WARNING!!!!
      I just called to purchase this same fire extinguisher that Steve has and they said this little bottle is mainly for show only!!! Only around 1/2# of material inside the bottle. This is coming from the dealer that was going to sell it to me. He said there is barely enough material in the bottle to put out any flame inside of a car. I guess my quest for an extinguisher continues.

      About 12" H and around 3" DIA. 8# of material. Perfect

      My fire extinguisher came in last night. Looks like a great product and I can actually use the bracket that comes with it. Its small and compact and they claim it has 8# of material. I will be bolting it in within the next few days between the rear bucket seats. It has 2 notches in the neck to help it lock into place.

      Hey Camaroboy,
      How much does that exstinguisher weigh? From the size compared to 20oz bottle. It doesn't look like it weighs 8lbs.
      Just curious.
