An opportunity presented itself a couple of months ago (props to mbeige) for a BNIB MB Halon Fire Extinguisher. So I ordered one and 3weeks later I got it. I then tried to order the appropriate seat frame metal brackets for it but wasnt successful.

I then decided to go with the 124 seat brackets which are not exactly plug and play. but it fits the cavity and you just need to make appropriate holes to the bracket. Our seats have holes to accept the bracket.

I didnt take a lot of pics. But you get the idea

bracket and holder mounted

bottle on

Where did you get the Torx screws, and what size?

TO ALL
Remember NOT to use HALON in an internal-enclosed situation.. It depletes the oxygen..So you put the fire out and then suffocate!!..


But thats life huh?

Nice classy mod - cool Z

 

[slicky rick]

yup and i think very useful too. something that we should all have. just wonder how much its going to cost.. thinking how i could do this with one of the local extinguishers because im sure this is quite expensive...

You can no longer replace Halon extinguishers in Europe.. they are banned because of the ozone depletion...dont know about the states though..

whoa I didnt know that. but I primarily put this on as a cosmetic add on. but good to know



yea halons are NLA from MB

Eric are you sure this is a Halon extinguisher? I never asked. Maybe a CO2 unit instead?

Halon 1211 extinguishers are still available in the US, but they're very expensive. They also sell extinguishers with chemicals that are similar Halon for a lot less.

For use in a car I would definitely go for a Halon 1211 or similar type of extinguisher. Stay away from the dry-chemical ones as they will leave a monumental mess.

I carry a set of welders gloves wrapped around mine.. Ok having the extinguisher .. not good to give yourself 1st degree burns trying to open a bonnet or a door...

because these are so hard to come by here in the US, I just got it as an add on.
But now that you mentioned it, its a good idea to have the gloves underneath it as well.


and honestly, I dont know if its CO2 or Halon. I didnt even bother to read the inscription on the bottle

yes I had painful burns for a while after I stopped to help someone.. experience costs...

what car did you put this in? I am trying to figure out where the Fire extinguisher goes on a w140. According to my options list I am supposed to have one but I dont have one under the seat like you do? any other place they put these?

It's in a W140 hence the W140 section

It's in a 300SE. They're supposed to be on the driver side but I also wanted the underseat storage oddments box so...
