Preparing for my first track day I was made aware that most tracks recommend the installation of a fire extinguisher mount in your car. I have even participated in car shows where the promoters require each participant to have access to a fire extinguisher for insurance purposes. With that I began my search for a quick release mount that would work in the Boss. I was really impressed with the mounts made by Brey-Krause. Excellent, and beautiful machining. However, I also noticed you would have to buy a mount bar that would need to be installed in order to use the BK quick release.
With that, my brain was on a slow boil. How about making a mount that would clamp directly onto the seat adjust bar eliminating the need for any other auxiliary accessory?
I came up with this design that is made specifically for the Boss Mustang with the Recaro seat option. Or any Mustang equipped with the Recaro seat option.
All pieces of this quick release mount are CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum. Units are assembled with 304 stainless steel socket head cap screws. The mount assembled weighs a mere 2.1 pounds. This quick release mount is designed to work with Amerex 2-1/2 pound fire extinguishers with a 3.00" diameter casing. For reference the Amerex model numbers are B403 or the B403T. The extinguisher mounted in the photos has a B-C rating, and is preferred for your automobile. Fire extinguishers which also carry the A rating do so because of its properties to fight wood and paper fires. A fire extinguisher using a Halon agent is highly recommended for automobiles as these agents leave virtually no residue if used. Expensive, but well worth their added price. Please keep in mind that a 2-1/2 pound fire extinguisher gives you approximately 10 seconds of fire fighting capability before the extinguisher is exhausted.
I have tested this mount for rigidity and ease of use and have made additional quick release mounts to offer for sale here to all BMO members. The receiver clamps to your passenger seat adjust bar and accepts the fire extinguisher mount by simply sliding this mount into the receiver and inserting the PULL pin. To use, simply pull the red PULL pin, and slide fire extinguisher and its mount forward. Receiver remains mounted to the seat adjust bar. Each quick release mount comes supplied with detailed mounting instructions, along with the proper long arm Allen key wrenches for installation. Each mount is anodized in black, with the CNC machined 6061-T6 aluminum pull pin anodized in red.
For those interested in adding this mount to your Boss price is $185.00 and this includes USPS shipping to your address of choice. To purchase this quick release mount please email me at [email protected] for payment options. I prefer Pay-Pal.
Thank you for looking.
