Simple. Cheap Enough.

I dunno'. If mine catches afire, I have enough insurance to buy a new one without the painted-over scorch marks.

Burn, Baby, Burn!

 

I made a bracket that hangs between the "umbrella hooks" it is a chrome one that looks pretty nice in a black car. I just hang it there when I am at a gathering showing off the car. It's a throw back to the old days when I used go to car shows and they required you to have an extinguisher.

 

RickZ, what's that ****-looking thing on the back of the driver's seat?

 

I was wondering the same thing. It's the cloth seat so maybe it's the lumbar support adjustment?

 

On the Base model we have manual seats and that is the **** you turn to adjust the back of the seat. I wish that the seat back had a release so that the back folded forward because a short guy like me has a lot of room behind the seat (well not a lot, but some), but there is no easy access to it.

 

Hi there,
thank you all for the idea. I believe that a fire extinguisher is both a safety measure and a sporty mod. So I went for it, too. I riveted the housing on top of the beam behind the seats


It holds firm. Then placed a silver extinguisher I found online (it matches the rest of the interior)



And this is the final result. I quite like it, it gives the XF a tinge of extra sportiveness, don't you think?

Well then, let's set the road on fire. ;-)

 

I think it looks great. My only concern would be that it would become a projectile in a collision.
I believe that's why the o.p. mounted his behind the seat.

 

That is a very good point. To be honest, I thought about that but prioritised aesthetics. I guess will have to resort to careful driving and remove the cylinder from its housing when I push the pedal hard. 😉

 

You can purchase one of these and it would safer and easier to get to.

Trying to navigate this old forum and seeing all these old threads revived brings back memories. A lot of lost friends on here. I have never needed a fire extinguisher except at the track as required. Glad people are still finding mods for their cars after all these years.
