Default Extinguisher mount on .2 RS

Guys, I have a Sharkwerks extinguisher mount with extinguisher from my 996tt that I want to install in the new RS. It doesn't fit on the passenger side. I have BK sub belt bars in my car. Does it fit as is on the driver's side, or do I need the BK adapter 2032 to get it in there? Thanks in advance to anyone who has done the same thing already!

There is an issue with this combo. I'm heading off to SW to see them on Friday to sort it out on my car. I suggest you call them directly before you do anything.

Hey Scott you cannot install anything on the passenger side but you can install the fire extinguisher using a bkauto mount on the driver's side. The kit you have was for the 996tt or 997.1 gt3rs set ups only. Drop us a line and I can point you in the right direction

Don't new PCA regulations require fire extinguishers to be installed within the driver's arm's reach anyways? Or am I misinformed?

I believe the Euro .2 RS has one under driver seat as standard/optional...potentially available from Porsche Techquipment/parts??? My dealer's parts man is looking into it.

Yes the Euro 2GT3 can either have the clubsport fire extinguisher option which is located in front of the passenger seat mounted on the floor or the option I509 which is a small fire extinguisher located under the driver’s seat.
Neither of them is a T equipment item.

clubsport has part number 993 722 115 70

and the small one 996 722 115 00

for both you need brackets and for the small one you also need a strap a support and a mount. Btw you can only use this with normal seats not the bucket or GT2 ones.

Huge thank you to Alex and the SW crew for going above and beyond to get my drivers seat working properly with the fire extinguisher bracket! I'm thrilled to have a smooth sliding seat again.

Of course get the fk out of the car Mooty. But you never know that fire pooter-outter will come in handy, especially in emergency situations with other peoples cars. My dad always kept one with him in his semi and managed to help save the lives of several people throughout his trucking years. Still get Christmas cards to this day.

I bought some 2007 997.1GT3 seats with the Alcantara inserts to put in my car. What FE mount will work with these seats?
