The best place to mount a fire extinguisher in a car is on the front seat bolts within immediate reach of the driver. You must secure the fire extinguisher to prevent the metal cylinder from becoming a dangerous projectile during a sudden collision. Mounting the bracket to the factory seat tracks avoids permanent interior damage, eliminating the need to drill holes into the floorpan or center console.
You can install a fire extinguisher bracket securely by utilizing the factory seat rail hardware. This installation requires specific hand tools (a socket wrench, a Torx bit, and a hex key). Remove the factory seat bolts, slide the carbon steel or aluminum bracket underneath the rail, and tighten the high-tensile bolts back into place. Secure the extinguisher cylinder into the cradle using the quick-release pins to complete the installation. Watch the instructional video above to observe the exact step-by-step mounting procedure.
In the world of fast cars and talented builders, fire safety can be overlooked. This is where we come in, offering simple solution to stay prepared – if things get HOT.
