Just got a new 2kg Bottle and now looking for a mounting bar that goes from both mounting bolts on front passanger seat. Any ideas guys. Seen lots of pics but cant find where to get one from.

Cheers

2mm is a bit on the thin side, look at a min of 3mm.

Been out today and got a 1m length of 2mm ali, feels nice and strong. Just need to cut it to size and drill holes to fit seat sub frame and secure the fire extinguisher with the cradle it came with. pics to follow once i do it.
