Fire Extinguisher
 

Anyone ever put one of these on?
Ron Stygar says he got the part# from John Firestone. I want to put one in; not sure if bracket is still available.

I have one. The thing is it's a European option and shipping pressurized chemicals across borders is not easy. You cannot buy it from a US dealer. You cannot buy it in Europe and ship it here easily. Somehow there are a few within our borders that I cannot explain, but suffice to say check your favorite store (?eBay?) for potential leads. That's where I got mine.

Those pics have me wondering. What's that fourth lever on the front of the seat for?

That lever is to extend the front part of the seat cushion for people with long legs. I'm not tall, so I keep them fully retracted. It's part of the zillion ways to adjust the "sport" seat.

It allows the whole seat to tilt back. The seat actually sits lower, really cool for the driver. I have this on my Vaders. Sport model seats have it too.

I just want the bracket; I can get an extinguisher here. Is the bracket available?

Ah. I wish I had sport seats; too bad they're leather...

I bought the extinguisher and bracket from an ebay vendor. He had the extinguisher and I gave him the part number for the bracket and he got it for me. I think since it's only the bracket, you should be able to get it through BMW or any parts vendor. give greg at SEAM an email. I think his handle is mss318ti. He's the one working on the new supercharger you guys are all excited about.

I guess, if packing it one to a box and slapping on a UN number is hard (UN 1044 as I recall).

Just quoting several dealers and vendors I called when trying to get this part.

Sometimes people will believe the craziest things until they actually try what they are talking about. I'm guilty of that sometimes. Or perhaps they were just fending off your query with an answer you would believe. I was surprised to hear that UPS has no problems shipping unexploded airbags. The consistent answer a friend received is they weren't even hazardous material!

hey clex, that 'net' pocket thing on your transmission tunnel - is that a factory BMW part?

Yes, factory BMW Z3 net.

Thanks, might have to get me one of those :wink:

OFF TOPIC
 

Clex:

Are those M roadster floor mats you have in there? And, if so, how well do they fit? Are they aftermarket?

I have been looking for a 'plain M' mat, and I have not been able to check the fitment of the roadster mats (which just have the M alone, as yours do).

I think a new set of front mats are needed for the calendar photo shoot...:biggrin:
