Every Rx-7 owner should have some sort of fire suppression in their vehicles. An unsecured fire extinguisher in the cabin can become an extremely dangerous projectile in the event of an accident.

We have nearly completed the rear hatch mount for our quick release fire extinguisher mount! In the next week or so we will be offering a pre-sale of this product at a discounted rate! Please feel free to post your interest, questions, comments, criticisms here

The rear hatch extinguisher mount is a nice alternative/addition to our passenger seat mount.


Below is what the extinguisher will look like when mounted. It's easily removable if extra space is needed in the hatch.




Let us know what you think!

Where are the bracket's mounting points? Also, does it require any interior modifications or is it plug and play?

The mount uses existing studs (OEM interior panel) in the rear hatch and no modifications are required. It's completely bolt on, no cutting required.

I don't have any pictures of the mount installed without the carpet or I'd post them to show you more clearly.

Could a previous purchaser of the seat mount purchase the bracket only and reuse the detachable base, clamps, extinguisher, etc? If so, i guess I can go ahead and spend $6,000 on some nice Recaros

Yes we will offer the mount and quick release separately or together as a package. so now.you're clear to drop 6k on new seats

And as chiefboon guessed, our quick release assembly is interchangeable between mounts.

The mount itself is powder coated satin black and the quick release is anodized black.

The quick release pin upgrade uses a a push button to disengage the ball detent. It's a little cleaner than the pin with the lanyard. It really comes down to personal preference. The lanyard you can just pull out where as the push pin you need to disengage and pull.

We are going to try to offer some sort of discount on the extinguishers.

I don't believe so, but we are working on an FC specific mount

update:

The prototype rear hatch mount is complete! A few tweaks are needed then its off to production! Stay tuned for pre-release sale prices. We'll also post pictures with the mounting points exposed.

Sorry for the low quality picture guys

This will not work with the Bose system as it sits directly where the hoses pass. We are, however working on a mounting solution for people with the Bose system; but it will require purchasing the rear strut bar we have in development in addition to the quick release. With the Bose system installed there is very little space to mount an extinguisher back there without permanently modifying your vehicle.

The quick release itself will be available for purchase without a mount for any DIYers out there who want to create their own mounting solution.

and remember we have a seat mount for the stock seats
FD3S Fire Extinguisher Mount: OEM Seats - SakeBomb Garage



and we have great pricing on halotron extinguishers, and are one of the few authorized automotive distributors for halon extinguishers (typically aircraft applications only). If you guys have questions about extinguishers we're happy to answer them. If you care about your car please do NOT use a cheap dry-chemical extinguisher. The powder residue can do as much damage as the fire itself.

Looks very well built, but being in the hatch it seems difficult to reach IMO.

Like we said before it's an alternative to our passenger seat mount . It shouldn't add more than a few seconds compared to the passenger seat mount.

Charlie,
There was a holdup with our machine shop. The first prototype needed some adjustments. We should have the proof by the end of this week and hopefully start production early next week Once production is complete the brackets still need to be powder coated. I'd like to open up the pre-sale within the next two weeks and have the mounts ready to ship in about a months time. As you're aware we sometimes run into holdups and can't always stick to our release estimates. Since the quick release assembly is already complete we are only waiting on the brackets.

-Dan

We're shooting for the $165-180 price range for the mount and quick release assembly. Just have to iron out a few details and should have finalized pricing soon.

So what about users who have removed the Bose System? (Me)

Can we use the mounting point like normal non-bose vehicles?

Yes if you have removed the Bose system this mount will work on our vehicle. The Bose sound tubes block the mounting point, once that's removed you're good to go.

Update time!
The mounts are just finishing up production but still need to be powder coated. We should have them ready to ship within two weeks and will be opening the pre-sale tomorrow. We will have the pricing finalized tomorrow as well Below are a few shots of the production mount installed with the quick release.

We'll have more detailed product shots soon.





Night night,

This looks like a really nice solution for those that want to mount an extinguisher in the trunk. I did this until I saw what you guys were doing with the front seat mount. When a fire hits, I feel more comfortable having the extinguisher within arms reach.

A product modification idea for your front seat mount: You currently list the mount as being for OEM seats only and based on your mounting design (drilled holes for the seat rails), I see why that will not work for aftermarket seats. I think you'd find if you modified the holes into "slots' you'd be able to use the mount on both OEM and aftermarket seats. I'm pretty sure this will work for you as it did for me on my "SBG" replica one-off I made. My mounting solution was just like yours and when I went to Sparco seats, it no longer worked. Found if I turned the holes into "U" slots, the mount easily accommodated my new Sparcos. If you make this modification, I think you'll accommodate everyone's needs. Food for thought.
