Pics say it all here. Very happy with how clean and secure this install went. I could have used a small 1lb B:C extinguisher in the SuperCab rear door cubby, but I wanted an ABC extinguisher and could not locate an ABC 1lb’er anywhere on the interwebs (all B:Cs only). So had to go with a 2.5lb ABC unit instead and mount with a USCG approved bracket so it doesn’t go flying like a missile in case of an accident.

Secured with 2 machine screws with accompanying nut and washer. Top mounting hole went into the hard plastic trim with a 3/4in long screw and for bottom mounting hole went through carpet and foam backing with 1in long screw.

Install was was easier than expected. Removed passenger seat back against wall and from there the hard trim piece against rear wall between the seats popped loose and then allowed the carpet to pull forward. Whole install completed in under 30min.

Fastened to the plastic and fabric panel. Remains very secure to this day.

You could also use radiator support nuts. They're handy for a lot of things.
