body and interior Bracteteer Fire Extinguisher Mount

[2002#3]

Have any of you considered or installed a Bracketeer fire extinguisher bracket?  See photos.  It appears to a great product and to be just the ticket.  However, the two seat rails in my '74 tii are offset -- inner rail sets back 3" or so from the outer rail, so the Bracketeer will be at an inconvenient angle if it is installed.  Appears to be made to be installed at the forward end of each rail and at 90 degrees to each rail, not at an angle.  I can think of a few ways to adapt it to be installed at 90 degrees but you folks might have better ideas.

I keep mine in a home made bracket, bolted to the vertical support for the rear seat (behind driver's seat). Works great. Easy access. Only a minor limitation to back seat passengers.

I just bought one of the Bracketeer brackets (thanks for the tip!) for my '69. I'll update this thread with pics if I get it to fit. If it doesn't, it will go in one of the daily drivers.

Thanks, Mr. Stuff.  PLEASE let me know how you manage to make it work.  I am impressed with the design of the Bracketeer; however, we need to make to function for us.  Meanwhile, I will do the same.

Just realized I have recaro seats with custom brackets... my outcome might be different to yours. It arrives on Friday.

Thanks.  Let me know re: your luck/progress/outcome.  I am still trying to determine a good way to install the bracket in the unequal rails.  Will post my results.  

 

Thanks.

I give this a "meh" rating for my application ('69 with Recaros on custom mounts), but will buy others for other cars. It was too short width-wise to mount at the front of my front seats, and it was configure to the maximum possible which could have lead to droopiness, which is never good:

 

 

 

 

 

Instead, I mounted it behind the passenger seat using the grub screws. The brackets deformed once the grub screws were torqued down but it feels secure. Seat can move back fully but rear passenger foot room is severely impacted.. but I can count on one hand the number of times I have had rear passengers (and thankfully even fewer fires).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Quality of the product was ok. Some threads needed chasing (ha, kidding, really I mean more force than usual was needed to tighten the fasteners). Coating seemed ok. Felt expensive for bits of bent metal. Good amount of flexibility in application though. Bottle is held securely.

 

Cheers,
