I go away for the weekend and look what happens! I'll see if we can work with goodfellafd3s in developing a Spirit R/ RZ seat mount unless someone else is closer to Heath in the bay area.

LOL ! Damnit I forgot rich has the recaros! I was going to try to convince Dan that we need to buy a set of red recaros with tilt for, um, test fitment purposes

Bump for a cool product. I had a ghetto solution that put the extinguisher in front of the passenger seat as well. Only put it there so I could run with a club that required extinguishers for all drivers in the advanced group. Never thought I'd need it and then one day at Laguna Seca I did and was certainly glad I had it. It's the reason I have 2 nearly new wiring harnesses for sale now as well. After the fire I had to buy 2 very expensive harnesses to replace my fried ones. The harnesses alone will cost over $2500, so this is cheap insurance.

just throwing this out there, maybe you could make one bracket that works for BOTH the RZ/SR and the stock seats, keep costs down only having to develop one bracket and that way it would work should someone chose to change it up later.

The REAR SR/RZ seat bolts however do have the same mounting points so it may be possible to mount the extinguisher using the same bracket to the BACK of the seat (possibly) but no promises yet.

I forgot about the tilt feature from my one experience sitting in the rz recaros. Thanks for the info, like I said, just throwing an idea out there.

Hey guys, I'd also like this for my 7, but I have Bride Seats. Would this work with them or would it be possible to make me a custom "one-off" piece? I wouldn't mind paying what it costs as long as I don't get rapped lol.

I'll have to check again, but I believe they are not low-max. I'm not the tallest guy so I didn't want to have issues seeing over the hood. I'll confirm in a couple days.
