Thread: Fire extinguisher location - passenger side only.

Just think wherever you mount it the plastic arms will never hold it in a major head on...personally I wouldn't mount it on the passenger side of the cage. I just saw camel landy's post and agree.

The local wrecker has a D3 that suffered an engine fire , and mention " mate it happens to these things all the time"
Any one heard of this happening ?

A one shot wonder indeed, anything under 4 kg is!

I'll be putting mine on the lower tailgate soon. Right on the edge so it just clears the sealing rubber should be relatively out of the way.

I like the idea of putting them infront of the rear seat though.

Have not yet heard of it....so guess it does not happen all the time.

Have friends with D3's...not happened to them either.

He may drive a grenade or an oil burner, so bit of jealousy I guess.

If you mean under the front seats, there is a metal cross-bar behind the plastic, or at least there is in mine. I know it's slack, but have mine zip tied to that metal cross-bar, albeit with two 75kg rated zip ties.

Mate I meant the usual plastic cradle for the 1kg bottles...even the stainless strap cradles are doubtful. You would hope the cams ones would hold but who knows...

They dont catch on fire as often as Jeeps so that's a good thing.

Ah! Mine, being 2.5kg, comes with a metal cage and cam to lock it in. The cam is a touch flimsy though, as it's rather thin steel.
