I asked a question several weeks ago looking for a suitable, yet not buried, location for a ?A-10BC Extinguisher in my '91 Westfalia (absolutely cannot type that other word). Problem is that I installed a "Theater Seat" behind the passenger front seat which meant moving the little extinguisher (not to mention that I once emptied a 5BC extinguisher on a Chevy ElCamino (not mine!) antifreeze fire with virtually no effect). Anyway, I bought the Kidde bracket (with securing strap/latch) and mounted it horizontal on the "floor" of the below-sink cabinet - did a fire drill and found it fairly easy to deploy. Oh, took the original extinguisher and mounted it, as someone suggested, horizontally on the driver's seat base (where the carpet covers the front) - pretty much out of the way, and easy to grab (I was gonna give an illustration here of what might catch on fire, but better not to tempt the fates). -Blaine
