Jack & Fire Extinguisher

August 2007 (Addition)



Scissor Jack

There is a good space under the left hand bonnet which lends itself to fitting a scissor jack. I made a couple of brackets and used some adhesive foam to mount the jack. A hunt around the plumbing section of the local DIY store located some suitable clips for the jack handle.

Fire Extinguisher

Gloria fire extinguishers are widely available and refillable. Powder extinguishers are suitable for class A, B and C fires so are recommended for vehicle applications.

I chose a 1kg dry powder extinguisher (Gloria P1GM) which has a shrouded head and a mounting bracket. Its height is such that it fits neatly in one of the wells behind the front seats with a couple of self tapping screws.
