NA or NB Fire Extinguisher mount adapted for NC

Postby LuckyCat » Thu Dec 27, 2012 2:19 pm

This is a small project which involves using the Extinguisher mount from MX5 Mania and adapting it to the NC.

You could use the bar as posted by Regie on this forum as a basis, then to obtain 2 x 45 degree acute angle brackets. These are not easy to find but I
did locate several sources.

So here is the picture of my idea. The bottom of the Mania plate should rest nicely on the carpet.

At the moment I have a Mania mounting and I am waiting for the acute angle brackets......

should the extinguisher be mounted on the other side of the plate??

looks to me like it will be sitting in mid air.

I do have 1 bracket left over for the NC is you are interested

Sorry Regie, the drawing wasn't to scale. I am hoping it will rest nicely on the carpet,

Hey Regie,
Do you still have an NC bracket?

Cheers,
Craig
