This is what I was thinking of doing. I was going to use some alum plate on the back of the divider and run the bolts thru the divider and the alum plate. This would secure the fire ext to the divider so that it couldnt fly off. My only concern at that point is if the added weight to the divider would cause the divider to come undone and go flying forward. Its not really held in place very well so you never know.

So I've heard a lot of people day keep this in mind or dont do this or that but I havent heard ANYONE say where a very good secure reachable place would be. If it needs to be within reach with the seat belt on there are not very many places it could go except on the floor in front of the drivers seat...but that would depend on the size of the fire ext

I'm glad this topic came up cause I would really like to get a good ext mounted in a really good place

I haven't tried crashing with mine yet so I don't know if that will cause it to fly out...However, I do know it stays in place with some really heavy spirited driving...hasn't moved...I can't vouge for some of the heavier fire extinguishers...I have the small APC model and it's nice and light...the bracket has about 8 screws and I drilled the devider and mounted all eight screws and it aint goin nowhere
