Chrome halotron extinguisher

Hey Guys,
I have looked long and hard for one of these and thought I would share the addrress with you guys.

If you have every used anything but this halotron type extinguisher on a car fire, you know how badly the other extinguishers mess things up.

Here is the address

they are $115 for 1-1/4 lbs & $140 for 2-1/2 lbs

Halon extinguisers work great, but there is one major problem with them.

They displace oxygen so there may be a problem, while it will put out a fire you may sufficate.

extinguishers

For any guys in (or near) Miami,FL needing extinguishers, let me know
Fire equipment is our family business and prices will be much better than on the net.
Pick up only though from our warehouse as shipping small quantities of extinguishers has become difficult and expensive

Here's a link to the ones I use:

The system I use has the halon bottle mounted behind the seat, and the hand held is mounted on the seat (below your hamstrings) with a quick release ****. Here's a couple pics (unmounted)

Can't get true Halon anymore. Banned substance. Not enviromently friendly.

...especially if you jump on it without looking!

Actually, here's a picture of one that's mounted using a billet mount with a different model extinguisher.

and different extinguisher models:


The artwork in the background is one of my favorite pieces in my collection. Unless you see it in person, it's hard to appreciate (it's stunning IMO). BTW, I am the kind of guy who thinks that artwork, in general, is boring and stupid, and would rather tear my fingernails off with pliers and dip my hands in paint thinner instead of going to an art gallery.
