As for seat clearence issues, none from the front seat, you have to sit in the back seat with the extingusher and have someone in the front moving the seat back and lean back in normal driving positions. Then mark where you need to mount it. Remember that I used 2 smaller sizes than you might first pick. Thats why the marine application worked as boats have space issues too.
Now when you fold down the rear seat, you have to open the door or remove the extingusher temporaraly. Again, nothing is perfect but it works for us and I love the quick access. |
the last part you said was either/or right? so really, as long as you open the back door to lean the seats down you don't have to remove the FE? i liked the suggestion of the 12' and 14', which did you use?
so the extinguisher comes with everything you need to mount except the stainless steal bolts, washer and nylock nut? if thats the case do you remember the sizes? only for my laziness factor!! intsead of trial and error, i would like to go in and buy the right size for all first!
we have marine shops all over the place. what should I expect to pick those up for? Marine shops, like auto dealerships get kinda proud of their name....even though most are made by the same distributer.
Thanks for your help, may be something I will tackle this weekend. seems easy enough, and something I wont get griped at to much for!
