Take that, CVR.

Hopefully this will pass tech.

I used to have a Brey Krauss one for my stock seat but it won't fit the Recaro. I had a Porsche baby seat which adds a C bracket between the floor and the sliders across the front of the seat. I use hose clips from the C bracket around the fire extinguiser bracket now. I'll post a picture when I get the car. Don't forget to get a dealer to tech the car.

Very cool. Where did you get the red clamping bottle holder?

I stole it along with the extinguisher from Lobo.
Don't tell him but the pin fell out and we discharged the extinguisher when we were test-fitting.

Just kidding.

So it was Halon, right?

I thought all that stuff looked familier.

Actually it IS a halon extinguisher, quite a nice find.

Lobo, the Mrs. brought out the keys in case it needed to be moved, but rest assured, I would have made her move it if needed. You get to give me my first tour.

Also, just to plug someone that sponsors a lot of our events, HMS Motorsports in Peabody has Halon and regular dry fire extinguishers by Amerex. Give them a shot, they'll ship anywhere and they can usually try to find stuff that they don't stock for you. They mainly deal BMW stuff, but have some good general-purpose stock as well.

Huh? Translation please. I'll second Uwaeve's plug, Joe Marko and his staff at HMS the best. Very good people and they will actually discuss your needs rather than try to sell you something they carry.

When I was cannabalizing the RSA, your wife came out with the keys in case I needed to move it back so I could get the door open without toppling the "Wall of Hoosiers." I told her that I could get to the bracket fine. I was saying that if the car DID need to be moved, she could do it. I didn't want to be in the drivers' seat until you're good and ready for me to be.
