Where do you attach your fire extinguisher too?

Hey guys, can you fit your fire extinguisher to the red support bar behind the seats? If this isn't secure enough then where would you secure it too without drilling holes into the interior?

Thanks

You can attach it to the rear bar, I did this once when I was taking the car on the track before it was modified. Just get one of the 1kg extinguishers with a metal bracket, then use 2-3 metal hose clamps around the bar holding the frame. That is pretty solid. Some people attach extinguishers to roll cages this way.

In my racecar I have a fabricated bracket that goes in front of the passenger seat and lots of people have similar. Basically you unbolt the two front bolts of the seat, make up the bracket so it has holes that line up with the bolts, then place it between the seat frame and floor and rebolt up.

You can buy brackets like this pre-made for some cars, but I haven't seen it for mini. It is pretty easy to make something up or get someone to fabricate it
