hi Preston,
suggest you have a look on the USA
pelican parts website [

and do a search for Extinguisher:, best on teh 911 technical forum, rater than 9#64 / 993 section:

as I remember seeing loads of different options for extinguisher positions - metal bracket front face of the passenger seat mechanism ( so behind the legs of your passenger ) was one favoured option, looked quite simple to knock-up.
think one soilution that seemed good was to:
- take passenger seat out - or just take out the front 2 bolts,
- then 'fabricate' an L profile steel plate - length to match the width of your seat., guess about 3-4mm steel,
- and broad ( the froont, flat face ) enought to bolt fix the extinguisher to;
( imagine a capital L and tilt it backwards 180degress[8|])
- aim is to 'slot' this metal L underneath your seat runners[],
- have holes drilled in the L to match the seat runner holes - so that when it is slotted in, and you re-fit the front seat 2 bolts - they anchor the L in place.
- Then drill hoels in the front face, to suit the fixing bracket / straps of the extinguisher
blue peter basics would be to make one in cardboard 1st to check clearances etc.
and spray paint it ( hammerite satin black, loads of coats built up very gradually ) before it is fitted - egg sucking lesson over![8D]

ps:
pessimistically - seen few posts about just how quickly a car fire uses up a small fire extinguisher[

so now you have all tempted fate by reading this last part of the post,
go and buy a 2nd one to keep in the boot ( fixed down so it doesn't put mole hills in the bonnet under braking!![
