Hey fellow 6speeders, I know that over the past year quite a few of you have Emailed/called/requested us to re-introduce the fire extinguisher kit that I had in my car. I wanted to let you know that we _do_ have a Fire Extinguisher kit available again for all 996s with GT3 seats. Note: you must have a Porsche/Recaro GT3 seat in order to use our kit. I’m told these will work with some other recaro SPG styles but that has yet to be confirmed. Stock and sport seats do NOT work with this application at this time.

Right now we’re making a run of 25 kits (about half of those are already spoken for and have been promised from way back) but if there’s enough demand we can make more. The bracket is now lighter weight/lower profile and is designed to mount a 2.5pound Halon 1211 aluminium cylinder fire extinguisher as shown in the pictures. We usually mount the kits underneath the passenger-side seat but it can also be done over on the driver’s side as well with little interference. There are several options; you can choose a silver or black bracket (these are neat because they disappear with black carpet if you want to go for a stealth look) along with a powder-coated red, white, black or polished extinguisher.

If you are interested in being added to the list and ordering a kit please drop us a line to alex@sharkwerks.com or call 510-651-0300 with your request in terms of desired colors/set ups and contact information. Please do _not_ send Credit Card or other payment information at this time. Right now we just want to know how many and who wants what. Once we’re ready to ship in a couple of weeks we will contact you for shipping/payment etc.. Thanks!

bump....oops...how about just the bracket for those of us who have an fe and don't care for the pos brey-krause bracket?

 

Heya Chuck... I can sell the bracket seperately but it is _designed_ to work with this one but let me know which FE you have

 

this one...

 

OK so one SE bracket for you then sir... silver or black?

 

<nudge> I would prefer black but will accept silver if no one else requests black...I'm easy...

 

You got it!

 

Can you get the bracket in black?

 

Absolutely. The bracket come in black or silver/brushed

 

Can we get the bottle in RS Orange?

 

Only in RS Green Actually at this time no but obviously for our RS we'll be getting it done custom to that and I'm sure we can for Orange also.

 

Thanks for the Emails/PMs guys. I've got this run pretty much done and it looks like we'll be doing another run of these again. I got all of the extinguishers in.. I'll post pix. Pretty trick looking in either red, polished, black or white

For the guys that Emailed me and are on the list. ETA is 2-2.5weeks at this point and I'll then be Emailing/Contacting you. Cheers!

 

Hey guys, extinguishers are in and I'll post some pix shortly. Brackets should be here by mid-next week and we'll be good to go

 

OK looks like we're pretty much ready. Just going to do some final installs today locally and final-test it all and we should be ready to go

Here's a pic of the silver and black brackets:


The silver one is much nicer than the proto-type:


I'm going with black on mine...



Silver with red FE:

 

Hey guys it was great dealing with you all and I'm down to just two black FE's and one white. For those of you that are doing your own installations we wrote up a quick guide to help you through it (very easy). Just be _sure_ to use the provided set screws. Do not use the ones from Safecraft that attach the shipping plate to the FE. Remove that and discard those screws and use the ones we give you instead
