Tom,

	I would be wary of putting it on the drivers side; should it come

loose (for whatever reason) and it gets caught beneath the pedals....

	My extinguisher is located in front of the passengets seat.

It does not interfere with the passenger.  I have it mounted to a

rectangle of aluminum plate, about 4"x12" and the plate is bolted to the floor

via the seat-slide bolts.  The installation is clean, but you are

not able to slide the passemger seat forward.  At least I did not have

to drill any holes in the car.  There are probably better locations, but

may require you to drill a hole in the car.
