SAFETY - found a perfect fit fire extinguisher

Post

Back to the top
i thought i would share.

since we drive old cars, things perish, disintegrate fall apart or whatever so a fire extinguisher is a sound purchase.
i picked this up on amazon the other day.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002Q9O3GK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

was looking around the car on where to fit it and stuck it here, its a perfect fit.
the little curved bit around the steering column holds it in place, no rattling or moving about, its solid.
plus its right there in front of you if you ever need to use it. hope this helps someone and hope you never have to use one.

i pressed the little red button

That's a nice find. Maybe worth having one on the other side too to be safe? (I can't remember what size you're recommended to carry in a car?)

Great find that!
I've been looking for a small one for years but my problem is I don't have that box on mine as I've got the Knee bar.
Never mind though I think I'll order two, one for the front and one for the boot.

I have the knee bar too, but I've just put it in the glove box, must remember not to lock it!

Just tried to buy 2 but they won't send to Austria.  :'(
But they can send me most things.
amazon.de doesn't have any in that size.

Oh nuts, I was in the UK last month as well!  :banghead:

no where neat to stick them in a series 1, glovebox is useless, one undertray (generally missing)  :(

but, seeing as my old golf lit up i always carry one  :lol:

VW, through their Quantum/Votex brands did an under seat bracket for the MKII.

Because the front seat frames are fundamentally the same on the MKI, it's a perfect fit… Might look like a jumble of bits but it's very straightforward to assemble with no drilling etc. required and can be removed just as easily.

Hopefully you can see the part numbers if you're wanting to track it down. I've had this one since the mid-nineties so can't give you any pointers where to get them now.

Now that looks very neat and tidy!  :thumbs:
All I have to do is find one of course and then the extinguisher the right size as well!  :lol:
