For the past many years, my Halon fire extinguisher has been mounted in-between the seats in our RV-6. It's actually kind of a pain to get to there, and it has been getting knocked around and beating up the mount lately. So this year, I decided to move the fire extinguisher down to mount on the the front of the wing spar, underneath the pilots legs. I designed and 3D printed a custom mount (ABS plastic), and I ended up attaching that to some bars that are held in place by the wing spar bolts. Here are some pics to share the idea:
Any mounting location for a piece of emergency equipment will be a compromise to some degree, but so far I like how it turned out. We'll see how I like it after getting some time flying in this configuration.
Cheers,
