I mounted a small Halon fire

I mounted a small Halon fire extinguisher to the seat bottom of my co-pilot seat. It's mounted far enough aft to allow the seat to be moved all the way forward, and is accessible by reaching down between the seats from the left front seat. I rarely carry passengers in the back seat, and it does not completely obstruct foot room in the back seat, but if someone finds it in the way, I just dismount it for that trip and put it on the floor between the rear seats...
