Ferrari Mailing List: Fwd: Fire Extinguisher brackets for 308 - 328

[Robert W. Garven Jr. (rgarven]

Friends,

Years ago when I first got my Dino 308 GT4, I was looking for a for a fire extinguisher bracket that would work in my car.

Back in the old days there’re so many products the remade by third party vendors that were very cool. I received the catalog

Would seem to have the perfect  fire extinguisher bracket. As most you know I am getting another Dino, and was hoping I 

could find the same bracket.

Unfortunately the gentleman making them had a whole catalog full of cool Ferrari stuff which he discontinued. He gave me his blessing

If I wanted to make some more. A very good friend, who is an expert metal fabricator lined me up with the company that could laser

cut them the same as original. Since I was going to custom make them I made a few improvements to lighten the weight, and round off

some corners. It’s the best design I’ve ever seen, and after initial installation it removes in seconds. I was not trying to make money just 

trying to break even on the project, which probably won’t happen but I thought I could at least provide a alternative to those who wanted

And easy to install and functional bracket.

They were originally designed to fit the 308 series, all the way up to the 328. Ironically they fit the GT4 perfectly. To make a long story short

I had a handful made after I found out how hard it was to purchase an off-the-shelf bracket that fit our cars, .  The original designer send me

brackets that were made to fit on the Testarossa and a few other models, but I haven’t gotten anyone to come over and see which brackets 

fit which car.

I have them on eBay, But if anyone is interested you can email me and I will send more information.  I have sold a few and everyone seems to 

like them as much as I. I apologize for the blatant commercialization,  but I thought there might be a few 308-328 owners out there I might find this interesting.
