Default Where to get a good fire extinguisher?

I want to get a small/medium sized fire extinguisher to mount between the rear seats. Anyone know of any good ones?

Where can I get them and the necessary mounting stuff?

I have a 5lbs Firebottle system with release cable, two nozzles, a full bottle and everything. It's a few years old, I just kinda ran out of money for my project at the moment if your interested.

I may be interested, lemme think.

I am a bit confused on summit racing. I think I want a 2.5 lb bottle, but im unsure as to the differences between models.

Would that one work fine?
Any way to get around haz mat fee? I dont know why that should apply to something like this.

Pretty sure there is no hazmat fee. The reason why because your not buying enough to get charge (youll have to buy over 1000 lbs) If I remember when I got mine they said the dame thing but never got charge.

Anyone have any recommendation on which to get halguard vs maxout? I cant find any info on the subject. I know halguard turns into a gas and the maxout is a dry compound. I almost think dry compound is better.

Halguard is aircraft industry standard. I have one. Not cheap, they look very nice though.
