Fire extinguisher mount on a GT3 seat?
I need to mount a fire extinguisher on my new GT3 seat. What are my options?
I still have a BK unit mounted on a sports seat that I had before. But the idea of having to unbolt that thing and re-attach it to the new seat scares me. What is more, I am not even sure the BK unit would work with a GT3 seat.
Thank you.

Don't know specifically. I bought my street 996 fire extinguisher mount from Windward Performance Products 802.387.5579 (couldn't find their website). Their located in Maine.

A little update: the Brey Krause mounting kit for the sports seat does not work with the GT3 seat. There is no central mounting point 
Currently I am investigating a kit from Dave Turner's Motorsports made by Eric. Will post the results

VS,
Here's what I did to mount an extinguisher on my GT3 seats. I used a metal bar that I had gotten earlier for mounting a sub belt on stock seats and bolted that between the seat rails in front. I then drilled a couple holes in the bar and reworked the BK mount with a Dremel tool to be able to bolt it to the metal bar.
I later ended up mounting the fire extinguisher to my roll bar, where it is easier to access and stays out of the way of passenger legs. I'm pretty sure I still have the modified parts around the garage some place, so if you're interested in them, send me an e-mail.

These guys have a really nice solution for GT3 seats which includes a really cool brushed aluminum extinquisher for somewhere between $100 and $150.

VS,
what you need is the BK Anti-sub strap mount and their optional fire extinguisher mount.
I've seen it in person--John Hrad at the Porsche Store bought it and the Anti sub strap mount is identical to the Porsche Anti-sub strap mount for the GT 3 seat, except for where the extinguisher mount bolts to it.
