Default fire extinguisher mounting

I need to mount a fire extinguisher in my car. where do you guys mount yours or where would you mount it. It has to be securely mounted in the cockpit.

I have a small halon extinquisher mounded directly behind the console in front of rear seat. I think you can see pic in my sig. If not, lemme know and will post one.

It will have to be a small one to fit there, but is a great spot. If mounting there, be aware of the e-brake cables passing JUST underneath this area. VERY short screws will be the order of the day.

The trunk would be most logical location place. Where in the trunk would be up to you.

I think he is trying to be track legal which means it has to be within reach.

If it's a small extinguisher I know a lot of people put it on the A pillars...probably not on your side but on the passenger side...or you can put it horizontally like on the roof lining right above the window?
