I just realized I haven't mounted my fire extinguisher yet. Â Is there a "standard" spot for this in an RV-6A? Â Looking for an easy (=quick) installation idea.
Thanks,

How about under the cowl with a remote pull pin? Just kidding. Or maybe not.
I had a small Halon bottle lying loose in my custom panel glove box, until the day my wife shut the door on it with some loose object (probably a CD player) in front of the discharge button. Hissing noise and "smoke" in flight made me think a 2 gauge cable had shorted to ground for a second. We laughed later. A lot later.

In my RV-6, the extinguisher is mounted on the floor just in front of
the fuel valve.

How about on the spar cover where it's just behind your legs and handy .... under the cowl won't help with a brake fire.

I have mine between the seat bottom cushions. It's a little too long to lay flat on the floor between the flap drive enclosure and the tapered portion of the seat bottom. But, a little sheet aluminum fabrication made a bracket to fit.

In my RV-6 C I mounted mine on the F-638 Seat Back Brace of the Passenger Seat. I used the bracket that it came with and made some Velcro straps to help hold it in plus make it easy to remove. While in flight C I can reach over and pull it off. No bending or twisting.
I copied this idea off of Bill Flahrty RV-6 when I saw it in July 1998 at 2G3 (now KVVS). It has held up well for almost 12-years and over 2 C000 hours of flying.

I put mine under my knees mounted horizontally on the forward side of the main spar. It is easy to reach between my knees, very secure in its holder, yet out of the way.

Pete:
Didn't that interfere with your left tank fuel line? Did you attach it to the spar itself?  So, the fire ext. mount would have to be removed to take out the wing? (Not an criticism, just trying to understand how you mounted it).
