hi alexander... I was just repsonding to your PM but I honestly haven't tried that. I'm guessing it "might" be possible with some mods but it was never designed for it. We made it for the safecraft units:

Sharkster - my pleasure - it's a nice piece of work - just needs to be a much bigger extinguisher for putting out car fires imho - for saving skin only it's probably just fine.
For your own use, it must be able to be removed when you are strapped in, and Holger's location is much more suitable, but one has to consider how the mount comes apart one handed while you are in the belts and trying to hold the bottle and release it at the same time?
Imagine if you are upside down and hanging in the straps and you need the bottle in a hurry before you decide where to put it if you plan to use it on yourself.

I definitely recommend the Sharkwerks mount and a compatible extinguisher of your choice. It fits with the OEM seat/brackets/subbelt and is a high quality piece.
As for the real clubsport extinguisher, it eats into passenger floor space and legroom and can injure your passenger if he/she is not careful! A solution that is flush with either seat is much better.
I'm sure sharkster can recommend a compatible Halon extinguisher.

Thank you guys. Sharkster's bracket is on its way - I will let you know whether I am able to tweak it so it works with oem clubsport extinguisher.

Hey Alexander, not tried it before that way but you never know... as I was saying if it doesn't work out just send it back (unless you want to try a safecraft). Good luck!

I'm lost - I ordered fire extinguisher part# 996-521-607-00 - it looks like the one on the picture from Carnewal and from Stuggart Performance. The extinguisher came with a bracket with three holes in it, but I don't understand how the bracket is attached to floor or seat. I hope I am not supposed to drill the floor. Please, help.
