Marc would be proud

Ooh, now that's a good idea for the extinguisher...is it just a couple of self tappers into the plastic, or is it bolted on?

couple of self tappers , Bolts would probably be more secure but couldn't find any in hut

Impressed at your beading, just washed mine but no wax, haven't got any good stuff (and besides my paint is wrecked). Just put a dab of t-cut colour wax where I've put the GB sticker.

I think Will needs to take some lessons off you, Mr P... His car was a disgrace yesterday

Nice beading going on there.........

That driver's side carpet is a disgrace. :eek: Take 100 lines - "Not good enough, must try harder".

swmbo is in charge of interiors, I will discipline her later

Good idea with the fire extinguisher, I've been wondering where to place one myself

nice beading!!!

i could use that fire extinguisher as a foot rest i am that short

I'm not so sure on that, if you put the brakes on hard I wouldn't be so sure that the

extinguisher won't hit your legs.

The factory solution in place of the box has a couple of straps, so maybe if you could get a couple of the quick release clips or velcro straps you could put them around the extinguisher and cage. That way as long as the cage stays closed so does the bottle.

If you find my Octy II extinguisher guide, in the guides section you'll see the sort of straps I mean.

HTH

Yup noticed after Will posted in other thread it could be an Hazard, self adhesive velcro hook strap fitted to extinguisher and loop strap around back of cage
