Where to mount Fire Extinguisher?

Hey fellas, Just bought a small 1.5 lb chrome fire extinguisher after seeing my buddy loose his precious Corvette from a fire. Where is the safest and best place to mount before I start drilling into my interior.

Thanks in advance

-Mario

Brey Krause makes one for a 2.5lbs that mounts to the passenger side seat mounts in front. I have one with me GT3 seats, probably works for stock seats too.

keep in mind you need the fire extinguisher needs to mounted in a place that you can reach while still being belted into the car. if your only concern is an engine fire then the front trunk is as good a place as any.

If there's an engine fire, I'm not sure I'd want to stop it too early to try to "save" the car haha.

I got the one from Rennline and it is simply perfect. Nobody sitting in the passenger is complaining about the space it take and it is really easy and fast to reach...(no affiliation)
