Who makes a C5 passenger seat fire extinguisher bracket?
NCCC rules this year require all Group II and higher cars to have a metal bracket mounted extinguisher....
I know of the Vetteworks bracket.
Are there others?
If so contact details please.

I have the same one but have it attached to my seat... my legs are nowhere near it. If its in front of the passenger seat and you need it, think you could get it quickly? My thoughts are if somethings on fire in my car...I'm unlocking the harness, grabbing it and getting the hell out of there.

R-D Racing makes a nice one that can be used under either seat and is a submarine belt rod for 5 or 6 point harness. No drilling necessary to install in stock seats. Bracket plate can be drilled for most any extinguisher bracket. I unfortunately have tested it at PIR and saved the car with it. The cheapest insurance you'll ever buy.

As far as a sub-belt bracket, I fear that's WAY too far forward for a proper sub bracket. Last system I installed I believe called for the sub belt mounts to be equal to/or inside(towards the center of the body) the chest line.

You are correct, for proper sub belt location, you would need to cut a hole in your seat and I haven't met a Corvette guy yet that finds that acceptable, so we just offer a compromised solution for those with 5 point belts. For anyone looking to purchase belts, we strongly recommend 6 point harnesses (not 5 point).
