Looking to mount a fire extinguisher in my 69 dart. Running stock front bench seat and have a B&M Quicksilver on the center of the hump. Thinking I'll mount the fire extinguisher on the passenger side of the tunnel. Curious if anyone has photos of their mounts. Some cool looking options out there now wrt billet mounts etc.
 
I (hangs head in shame) don't have one at present, used to mount it right on the floor as close as I could get to front of front seat

Mounted mine under passenger side dash. No ones ever complained about it being in the way...
Also have one mounted in trunk.

This is exactly where I put mine. I have to get another one after having just used it to put out a motorcycle that crashed in front of me on the freeway.
 
this video is actually for a mustang but i think it would be cool mounted there on a mopar too.. one of these days i'll pick one up for my mustang..

Not a bad spot unless you ever have a passenger sitting behind you. If that's a possibility then I'd flip the fire extinguisher bracket 180-degrees so instead of lifting up on the release clips you have to push down. That would also put the fire extinguisher content-release lever on top rather than the bottom.
The narrator keeps saying there's plenty of room for a passengers feet but I see a problem with their feet hitting and releasing either the bracket release clips or activating the fire extinguisher by moving their feet.

In my previous '69 Dart I had one mounted on the transmission hump in front of my floor shifter (I had a bench seat in that car). I haven't yet decided where one is going in my current Dart build when complete, but there will be one somewhere.
 
not much passenger room in a mustang to begin with. i sure wouldn't want to ride back there..
