I'll take the harness. Please
Ship it on out to the Left coast. I've been wanting to do this slee mod but have no $$ at the moment.

Hoser, that type of bracket would work well. Do you remember where you got it?
The fire extingusher looks good too. Did you get it from H3R.com?

Isn't there one type of fire ext. that's better than others? (less corrosive)

What do you guys think about the Fireade line of extinguishers? Sounds like the perfect extinguisher, aside from the part about not working on electrical fires.

I bought that mount from www.daliracing.com but it is specifically designed for the NSX. The extinguisher mount would be easy to fabricate though. Just buy the aluminum strips. Cut, bend, weld (or bolt) together, paint or powdercoat. The red mount shown on the picture (earlier) comes with the extiguisher. I forgot where I bought my extinguisher but you can find lots of good deals on eBay.

IMO, the extinguiser is still small but anything bigger would be obtrusive. You really have to catch the fire in its early stages. Not even a 30lb Dry Chemical extinguisher will work on a fully involved engine compartment.

Here's a picture of it mounted in my car.

re: I have this Halon extinguisher.

In my other vehicle, I have an extinguisher mounted in front of the passenger seat (pictured). It is out of the way and allows the seat to go all the way forward if needed. I haven't looked at the cruiser to see if such a bracket could be made though.

I have this Halon extinguisher.
