Anyone fitted a plumbed in fire extinguisher? Wondered if anyone had done the hard work finding the ideal location and cable/pipe routing!

Pics please for inspiration!

Thinking of this position. Am I right in thinking the cables run from the handle down the tank? So I can run the cables down the will and up to the scuttle?

Why not route it through the same holes as your washer fluid uses?

Was thinking of around there if not the same hole. Just figured someone would have some 'been there done that' kind of tips!

And yes, top jaw comes down. I used 6mm P clips from Maplin which dont grip the cord too tight, and enlarged the old sill protector screw holes down the N/S for pop rivets.

Get a 12ft cable for the outer pull, then shorten it and if you want to be posh like me use a stainless cable end from a bike shop.

Got 2 what I assume are 6ft cables with the lifeline kit so hoping it'll be long enough go reach the scuttle

My black internal cord is 6ft, won't be long enough for the exterior.

Edit, maybe, yours will be, it's 1ft to the left of mine...
