In the boot for me or on the sides of a roll cage if you have one think they look quite nice displayed like that.

Indeed they have, but id never before seen a bracket like what i had made on an impreza.

Only ever seen em bolted to the floor in front of the passenger seat, never had a purpose made bracket mounted to the seat fixings.

I dont mean to **** on your chips, but I made an alloy bracket for my BX 16v, which located a Halon extinguisher in that position, when it was new in 1991. I have a stainless (Brey Krausse) bracket which fits an extinguisher in a similar position in a Porsche 911/924-968 in my track day car now and theyve manufactured that for years and years and years...

Parallel evolution perhaps, but not a unique invention.

All Ive seen is the posts below; and that was the impression that I got from them, hence my light hearted reply...
