Bolts for Fire Extinguisher

Thanks for the clarification

Those are no 9 in the diagram as I posted.

Now you want the 4 screws again ?


I believe the base to car 4 screws come in the extinguisher pack. They are not in the diagram I listed

No 6 screws are 8 screws to fasten down part no 2 in the diagram.

Yes, I know I am confused. I ordered the extinguisher and it came with 4 screws. I assumed these 4 screws were for the base plate and thought I was missing the 3 screws to secure the 2 different brackets together. So, I went to install the brackets that I had ( 4 ) screwing the base plate to the car, and the screws are not quite long enough. UGH! So I am lost on what the 4 screws are supposed to look like and length ???

ok, I have the proper bolts but I am unsure how the entire set up fits together. I realize this is probably silly to some but any tips would be greatly appreciated. I new to installing fire extinguishers.

On the back shelf between the drivers and passenger seat are four black caps, remove them. Next take the base and mount is using the four bolts, oriented so the top of the extinguisher faces the middle of the car. Next fit the straps to the extinguisher carrier, two of the three remaining boots will go through the straps, place the bracket with the fingers facing forward, secure with the three aforementioned bolts, clamp in the extinguisher and your ready for your first alarm.

Is there a real need for the fire extinguisher or is it just the "euro" thing to do?

[TT1351]

For me I felt it was something I just needed to have, probably a Euro thing, looks cool and a nice thing to have just in case. Maybe I should go with, d. All of the above
