Interest in a cheap Fire ext. mount mass buy?

[evil69]

I know a guy that has come up with a cheap weldable or just using hose clamps to mount. No more ziptied or plastic mounts for a very important tool. Could probably get some fabbed with a bucking horse, CB.com, beer opener (although Ford thought of this at the factory), EXT. I have not hammered out the total cost per kit with him, but will find out steel costs, ect. A ballpark would be say less than 25 bucks unwelded, but this is only a guess. Any interest or ideas? Will update later this week with costs, everybody is scrambling getting ready to head up to Harlan right now.


I do not approve of the beer used in the mounting.

If I'm corrrect, commercial ones of this style are $65 or more, so depending on final cost, I may be interested.

Yeah the cost of off the shelf is why I'm thinking there will be some interest. The current kits are weld yourself, but I am assuming will have to have an option for already welded for some folks.

i may be in for one, my billet one i have now is kinda too bulky. i can always sell it.

 

[bronco loco]

If the price is right, I'm in.

I'd be interested in a couple.

Oh my god - the chick's boobs in moe d's avatar are going to fall out...This would be a real shame ;D. Oh, and I'm also in (for the fire extinguisher mounting system) if the price is not wrong. After all, I have never been accused of not being a cheap bastard.

Spoke with him tonight. $30 shipped unwelded and $40 welded. Comes with hardware including clamps for tube side and the extinguisher side. Of course they can just be welded to the tube as above as well. Need a minimum of 20 orders just gauging interest. Will set timeframes and such later.

what exactly does that mean "welded' or "unwelded"? meaning he just sends us cut pieces of plate and we have to assemble it? also how much will they rattle?

 

[evil69]

He is cutting out with a plasma table. So unwelded would be flat plate, you weld the two catches to the tank mount and one to the bar mount (if that makes sense). Made from 1/8" cold rolled plate. The plate will index into the plates that get hose clamped to the bar and extinguisher.
Welded would be clamps on, put on bolt and pin (i.e. you are clamping to the truck and adding an ext plus installing and tightening one nut and bolt athough he may go ahead and put the bolt in).

They don't really rattle but currently they are on buggys (that I have been in or around) so not exactly the quietest thing in the world to hear small rattles (if they are any).

I will try to answer anything I can as soon as I can.

I'm in for a welded one.

Evil.

How does it work? I see the pull out pin but other end is bolted together. I'm guessing it slides out after you pull the pin?

[evil69]

The bolt end has a notch on the bottom of the tank side that slides on. Kinda pull pin, rotate out kinda deal.

 

[ET]

Alright. Please put me down for 2 welded mounts.

 

[broncokak]

When do you plan on placing the order. Would like to get a couple but don't have the extra $$$ right now.

 

[trippin]

in on 1 welded.

 

[evil69]

Orders will most likely start in a couple weeks and I am speaking with him on how long to keep it open and also setting production date. Keep in mind, this cat has the plasma table in his 2 car garage and has a regular gig, so work will be completed in the evenings and on weekends. But before anybody sends any money, there will be a set production date. I will assume the DIY kits will go out first since there is no welding to be done.

Edit this would be what an unwelded kit would come as.

 

[evil69]

Bump.

Would naked pictures help?
