Hi all, I finally got my 1.0kg fire extinguisher installed on the diesel. The larger 1.3kg unit is no longer available, AFAIK. There is mucho confusion regarding some of the part numbers for the mounting buckets... I got most of it straightened out, but I still have a few nagging doubts on a couple things. Anyway, I uploaded photos of everything, with part numbers in the photos. Warning: If you buy a new 1.0kg unit (yes, they are available from Rusty or your local stealership), it may arrive uncharged... you need to get it charged at the airport, or fire department, or someplace that does that stuff. Anyway, here's the photos:

The early buckets with carpet for the older 1.3kg units are a LOT more expensive. Lucky for me, the previous owner of my E500 had purchased a used 1.3kg setup, which is also shown in the aforementioned photos. :-) Best regards, -- Dave M.
