I have a Safety Devices bolt in type in my 79 ..... it fits VERY tight. Strong straps are typically used to squeeze the legs together just to get it IN the car .... the interior was stripped BARE when the install was done.

I'd replace that 2.5 POS fire extinguisher with at least a 5 pound. That no gauge design is something of a sick joke.

I installed a SNEED 4-point with my Miller MIG welder. Only had to remove the passenger seat to get it in. You will either need to remove or slightly trim the rear side panels. Here's a link: http://www.sneed4speed.com/mini-coop...oint-roll-bar/ The red car installation is mine.
