[turbosax2]

Sort of an old thread to reopen back up, but where online can you buy these at, cant seem to find any place that sells the fe-36

Did you read the entire thread (cough cough post 13).

Anyone have any issues with these and the in car temps? I know a couple I have looked at say not to keep in temps above 120 degrees and since I live in Florida during the summer my in car temps can get over 120 pretty easy when it is parked. I would hate to have one go off because the temps get to high and mess up my interior.

I would be willing to guess my car interior has hit somewhere close to these temps and I have yet to have an issue with the one I purchased.

so did you guys ever make any of these brackets to sell?

Id buy one

 

[snowborder714]

I don't think we ever got any interest via PM. Send me a PM and we'll see what we can work out. I'll have to discuss it with a couple people before I could confirm anything.

 

[black_gst]

yeah figure out a ball park price and let me know, right now mine is mounted to the floor on the hump in the middle of the back seats

Roughly how long would a 2.5lb fire extinguisher last for, not talking about expiry date.

 

[black_gst]

Not sure, but I know its not very long id guess 5-10 seconds

The thing about fire extinguishers is that they usually aren't used on your own car. A 2.5 lb bottle is good for putting out a fire while it's still very localized, but that's about it. But you hope that someone nice stops as you're using yours to assist with another.

Just seeing this now and I like it. How thick is that material?
So you saying the front part is bent down and the 2 sides were welded on? I'm looking at this pics trying to figure out how you would make all 3 bends so close in a press .

 

[black_gst]

Its all done on a press, its really simple you form the front 1st then form the sides hanging off the end of the die

 

[snowborder714]

They've been working out great for Eric and I. They're very solid and I pretty much don't know that they're there, except for the fact that I see my fire extinguisher sitting below my seat. Never had a problem with the bracket yet, and it's been through autox, road racing, and drag racing.

 

[Gamble97]

What thickness material did you use?

 

[Calan]

Pretty sure it was .125" 6061...although I may have used .090" on one or two of them.

 

[Gamble97]

Geez, didn't think it was that thick!

Just checked one I made for a friend out of steel and it's .070. I think that is more than enough, .125 wow!

You do realize that the material properties for steel and aluminum are quite different, right?

 

[Gamble97]

What material was the one you made it out of? Looked like steel too?

 

[Calan]

aluminum

 

[Gamble97]

I see now this makes sense.

id buy a bracket lmk if they become avaiable

^same pm me a price if avaliable

 

[snowborder714]

As stated in many other threads on this forum, if you don't see the product in the Freelancer section or the Classifieds (after searching), send the person who posted the info about them a PM. There are to be no mention of buying/selling in the forums.

Here's my install with Brians bracket, everything fit great. I bought my FE-36 extinguisher from Bakers gas as well. Brians price match link wasn't working, so I just googled the extinguisher & after a quick search best price I found was $121. Bakers wanted $126 but they did the price match for $121.

Looks good Daren, glad everything fit well for you.

Sure beats having the extinguisher rolling around in the backseat (which it may have been doing for the past 2 summers )

Its a great spot, most of the time you don't even notice it
