What is the best place to mount a quick release fire extinguisher? I has seen under seat mounts, Roll Cage mounts, and flat mounts. The rear drive shaft tunnel would be good, but i doubt it would be easily reachable when harnessed in with a helmet on. The under seat makes since...What are you guys doing?

In the rallye car, I (co-driver in pass seat) had it on the floor in front of the seat. Only used it once to put out a small grass fire from the exhaust as we were waiting to be pulled out. On occasion, I would hit the release while getting in or out. Getting the mounts with two straps helped this. I wouldn't want it under the drivers seat in my CMC car on the rare chance it could get free.
Excuse the mess, but here's where mine is in my CMC third gen. I had two small bits of square tubing welded to the car to raise it even with the hump where the bottom of the bottle ends up, and to have something to be able to bolt the bracket to. Ignore the switch for my cool suit. Accessable from either side, since fires don't always start when someone is actually IN the car.
