Fellow 1addicts,
Recently I was searching for a viable option for our cars for extinguisher mounting, see thread (
http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1058445 ). @Nugget suggested I check out the brackets made by a gentleman in Perth.
I considered the VAC bracket, but I wasn't keen on spending the items value solely on postage, plus I'm a fan of buying local where it makes sense.
After spending 30mins or so making a bracket so I could get to Sandown, I still wasn't happy with the fit, rattle, finish, general strength etc and proceeded to follow up on the WA-made brackets.
Product: E8x bracket rom Kap Industries
Link:
http://kapindustries.com.au/?product...7-e88-1-series
Cost: $AUD60
Install time: <10 minutes
Tools required: T50 Torx, 10mm socket, phillips head screw driver
Ease of install: 2/10 (don't damage anything!)
Note: I'll be popping mine out to add some loctite to the seat bolts now that I know it is staying in.
What is it like in the car?
- Allows for full range of motion of the seat
- No noise (some brackets rattle just enough to annoy me)
- Solid enough to pass scrutineering
I used the SCA 1KG extinguishers, but there are mounting holes to allow for most to fit.
Hope this saves someone else some time!
Ryan.
