Where to mount fire extinguisher?

Post by Valandis91 »

Just wondering where the best place is to mount a small fire extinguisher?
I've had one sitting in the back seat but i would like it mounted somewhere in the passenger foot well...

Is there anywhere i shouldnt be drilling into? Worried for electrical lines and brake, fuel lines etc...

I was thinking on the right side of the passenger footwell near the gear knob on the side bit where it has
a slight slant where there is carpet? Like where it meets the centre console along there?

The footwell panel comes off. so have a look behind there. Only thing that pops up is the transmission control relay.

Just on the floor directly in front of / under the front of the passenger seat.

A little bit of a reach to get to but it's out of the way and relatively easily accessible.
