i bought it at wallmart, for my needs it suite me just fine. now if start getting hardcore offroading might need to rethink and get a stronger bracket, but has stayd in place on mine.

give me a few minutes and ill try to take a pic and get the brand. some peoples needs are different so they may say its a piece of crap bracket, but if u just need a very basic extinguisher and bracket, this should do

sorry but the pic wasnt bright enough. no flash on phone

ita a kiddie dry chem, i think its a 3 lb from walmart around $20 or so

now for my needs, its fine but also remember, think of where to mount it because once u drill the 2 holes, they are there. i dont have carpet and my interior is bedlined so it didnt bother me to drill 2 small holes in the floorboard

i drilled pilot hole first, then used a self tapping metal screw from the hardware store

edit: my original post said rear driver seat, i meant to say rear driverside seat. when its folded down, the bracket and extinguisher come close to touching the seat but fits well

I think I know the answer to this, but is a 1 lb fire extinguisher too weak?

I mounted my first one next to the drivers seat on the seat bracket with the head facing forward. When getting out I hit my foot on the handle and it discharged a little squirt, even with the pin in the handle. Not enough to make a big mess but just enough to cause it to lose its charge. My second fire extinguisher I mounted with the head toward the back seat and haven't had any problems.
