Car Fire Extinguisher Bracket | Fits Most Vehicles

I could make this a pretty complicated and lengthy review, but I"m not going to. I could also talk myself into a less than five star rating, but I didn't see any similar product that would do as well and the end result is excellent, so five stars it is. What I would tell you:1. SECURE MOUNTING REALLY MATTERS. When I finished, I had a 2.5# Amerex Halotron mounted securely under the front of the driver's seat. My install is basically bulletproof, but I had to modify the installation. Secure mounting is very important, more important even than quick access in my opinion. Vehicles are involved in high-G accidents (collisions, rollovers, etc.) far, far more often than vehicle fires. You do NOT want a fire extinguisher becoming a projectile in an accident. Modern vehicles are extremely good at protecting occupants from injury - even a small fire extinguisher flying around could kill someone if there's a head impact. Five stars for secure mounting, no question, though on my 2021 Subaru Outback Touring XT I had to modify the installation (see below).2. HIGH QUALITY MATERIALS/GOOD DESIGN. Five stars here too. At least for a smaller fire extinguisher, this will be bombproof if installed correctly. An extinguisher in the 2.5# range is great. If very securely installed, you might get a 5# extinguisher mounted securely. The materials here are high quality. The various parts of the mount are good steel with what looks like a good quality powder coating. The holes are accurately placed and properly tapped. The fasteners are stainless steel (extra credit for that). Perhaps we should be able to take those things for granted, but there's a lot of garbage on the market. The same goes for the design. It's simple, flexible, strong and secure if properly installed. One area where the flexibility of this design turned out to matter was how the fire extinguisher was spaced horizontally. You can set it up so the head of the unit is either on the inside or outside, and you can move the central part of the mount left or right to clear the seat mounts/rails or to reduce the chances of snagging your feet when you enter or exit. This is a big plus.3. CREATIVITY MAY BE REQUIRED. The two installation methods in the instructions (which I thought were adequately clear and detailed) will probably take care of most vehicles. They weren't going to work securely on my vehicle. The front seat rails are shaped in a way that would make it hard if not impossible to get what I consider an accident-proof installation, and the plastic trim around the seat rails makes the installation more challenging if you don't want to rip out the trim around the seat rails. That would probably be a rational and only minimally visually disruptive choice, but I wanted something a little more polished. What I did is very simple to describe. In real life, working at the front edge/half under the driver's seat slowed things down. Basically, I replaced the set screw that is tightened against the seat rails to clamp the mount with socket-head screws that thread through the existing tapped holes in the clamps into new holes that I drilled and tapped in the inside side of the seat rails. Easy to describe. Properly positioning the holes, drilling them very low on the rails, and driving a tap (M6 x 1.0) to cut threads on the new seat rail holes wound up taking more time than you'd think it should, and getting the side clamp pieces tight against the seat rails when both pieces are threaded requires some care and attention. I'm still giving this five stars here, but if your vehicle is one of probably very few that don't really work easily with the generic installation you'll need to use some ingenuity and care...but the other mounts I looked at didn't look like they were going to allow me to get creative with a secure installation, which is why I'm going with five stars here. If you expect that something like this should fit every vehicle ever made and install securely in five minutes or less, you'd probably give it fewer stars.3. RANDOM NOTES.- Be aware that depending on your installation, there may be seat adjustment issues. I have mine installed almost touching the front/bottom of the driver's seat. I'm tall and the seat is nearly all the way at the back of its adjustment range. So, someone who's short enough (which would be most people) isn't going to be able to adjust the seat to move it forward - without removing the fire extinguisher and mount. And if they do, unless you have a sedan with an enclosed trunk, where are you going to put that missile-fire extinguisher?- The instructions recommend using blue Loctite thread locker (242) or similar. That seems like a good idea. You don't want the various fasteners becoming loose as a result of vibrations.- I spent a fair bit of time retrieving fasteners that I'd dropped...because they rolled under the seat and then into a space below the interior floor pan and the outer floor pan. I could have saved myself a lot of time if I'd stuff a t-shirt or hand towel under the seat to stop that.

This bracket is a bit pricey, but it's very sturdy and versatile. It looks very professional.

Installation is a breeze and fit my 2018 Silverado great wife didn’t even notice there was a fire extinguisherI go off-roading and It hasn’t raddled or made any off noise and it’s still held on greatJust a bit overpriced for what it actually is but functions great

I recently purchased a heavily modified 2008 Corvette Z06 and given the power it makes, I definitely wanted to get a fire extinguisher mounted in the car somewhere. This under-seat mounting bracket was the perfect solution! I’d say it was among the easier installations I’ve done with parts on my car; after about an hour I had it secured with the fire extinguisher in place. Not only is this system additional safety in case something goes very wrong but also looks sick! It fit my C6 perfectly. Would highly recommend this product… it’s a little on the expensive side but I’d say it is worth it for sure given the quality and ease of installation. And in case you’re wondering what extinguishers fit this mount, it’s in the product description! I went with the Amerex which is made in the USA. Would highly recommend that as well :)

Was going to purchase one from Australia specific for my 2015 Subaru Forester but found this on Amazon for a better price!Needed some muscle to loosen the bolts from my seats and an extra set of hands to hold the fire extinguisher extending brackets so that I could Allen them in place, and bend them a little so I could fit my floor mat underneath. Other than that, it looks pretty solid!Now it’s within reach and not in the cargo space!

This worked for my application with no need to drill or alter the product. It was simple to install. It is VERY over priced for the simple brackets you receive. It is not very robust and I expect to need to tighten it back up in the future. The use of only one screw per bracket arm to attach the fire extinguisher doesn’t give me much confidence. Over all the install went well. Cheap product, overpriced. Installed in 2023 Toyota Tacoma passenger seat.

Overall I am happy with this product. I have a 2005 GMC Sierra 1500 regular cab long bed. Installing under the front seats was the best options as I don't really have room behind the seats. I decided to put it on the driver side so passengers could still be moved the seat as needed. It was a little difficult to install due to the pull bar seat adjuster and the tight spacing to work in but after about an hour of playing with it, I finally got it all installed. If you look at the pictures you can see where the adjuster gets in the way a little bit. I can no longer move my seat due to how the Bracketeer bar sits in the rail. This is not a big deal as I rarely move my seat and now it keeps the repair shop from moving it on me. I am about 6" 2' and have plenty of room getting in and out, along with driving. I went with a metal mount for the extinguisher because it makes me worry less a plastic band breaking and rolling under the pedals. I have two smaller extinguishers mount in the back of my cap, but this now provides quicker access and allows me to respond faster. This is a great addition to the tools I carry as I do volunteer construction and assist disabled motorists on the side of the road.Updated this was moved to a 2015 Chevy Silverado, I just had to used a few zip-ties to slop the electric seat from pushing it off the seat rails. I found through testing it would force it off under enough pressure.

Had to bore out holes, use my own hardware and now my seat doesn’t slide back as far anymore just to get it to be sturdy. Terrible outcome considering the $60 price tag.
