Interesting ideas, but...

I don't have a roll bar, so those ideas are out.  The extinguisher's
diameter won't let it fit under the adjusting lever on the passenger seat,
so that location probably won't work.  And the same diameter issue would be
annoying on the passenger kick panel, plus its likely foot collisions would
release the extinguisher from its bracket.  Annoying.  So I'm still looking=
