Default Fitting a fire extinguisher

I have a car fire extinguisher I want to fit to the zt, the extinguisher already has a holder but I would like to fit it under the front edge of the drivers seat, is there a kit or has anyone done it before? I was thinking of something along the lines of adult Meccano if you know what I mean.

That's what I was told but I recon I have more chance of winning the lottery than getting an original.

[There was one on the bay a couple of weeks ago, the bracket and a well out of date exstinqisher (2012) went for the buy-it-now of £50 !!!!!!!!!!

I have mine mounted in the boot as you really dont want to be in there any longer than neccecery, if a fire breaks out, let alone scrabbling under the seat for the extinguisher, best to get out, get the extinguisher out the boot, and then decide to fight it or just get clear.

my fire extinguisher is not to save the car I also have a window breaker and belt cutter mounted under the arm rest lid - all easy to reach from the driver seat should they be required - best to have and not need

Never realised there were standard brackets already fitted.
