They're in stock and for sale now at owlexpedition.com
I will be at 100s and will be giving away a few and should have some to sell.
Count me in for 2 and some straps! Love the mud flaps BTW.
Pretty slick & great instructions. Easy install. What extinguisher is recommended?
I have 2 of the prototype mounts and they are great. The install/instructions was easy . Removing the "end of rail" plastic covers was annoying. You only need to remove the front seat bolts, and loosen the rear seat bolts enough so the chair can tilt back. I used another screwdriver to simply prop up the seat while I was installing - worked well enough.
On both of my seats, one of the rear seat bolts was significantly tougher to turn and seemed to stop at a certain point - so I stopped trying to remove it after a while (though did use a lot of force before I gave up). I don't know what it was, but it did screw back in just fine.
For extinguishers, I bought a 2.5Lb Halotron Amerex B385TS which is a B/C extinguisher. I have one in my E39 M5 and it was recommended to get a B/C one due to the non-corrosiveness if it ever needs to be used. It cost about $125. The mount only allowed the fitting of 2 holes instead of 4, but I think it's good enough with some lock nuts.

Thanks for the share! I'm just using a 10BC from first alert. It's advertised for auto/marine.
I would guess rust on the threads sticking past the body. Glad you managed with just loosening them!

Was super excited to give away a bunch of these at HIH9. Thanks everyone in the community for the support. You guys are killer.
I realized when I got home that I had nearly ran out of stock. My laser cutter owed me a favor, so they got me more back in stock super quickly so there would be no interruption in inventory.
Grab em while you can!

Thanks! Just dropped it off for shipping.
Love mine, now just waiting on the extinguisher to arrive.
I didn't follow the directions—that front plastic piece is flexible enough to work a socket on an extension in there to get to the bolts, and just flexible enough to slide the mount in. 15 minutes total, if you spend the first 5 figuring out how it goes.
