Fire Extinguisher to fit in built-in notch/ bracket under rear seats

[elimansour]

Hi All.  I am trying to locate the correct fire extinguisher to mount in my '98 Mooney Allegro.  It has a notch under the back seats with a metal bracket but I am not sure which extinguisher to purchase.  Is there a specific model that needs to be purchased or should I just measure and go with in that direction.  Sorry for the mundane question.

 It doesn't look like the ones mentioned in the parts book from the 90's are available anymore.

 

 

 

It looks like the 352T became the C352TS. Here's the new one (you might need a new bracket?) If your is already the 352T, you won't need the bracket:

With my discount at Aircraft Spruce I can get it shipped to you for $241.53

 

This explains the difference between the 1200 and the c352TS:

@elimansour Eliman, feel free to push the thank you button or like on Lance’s post...

Lance is an incredible resource of information about buying proper stuff for Mooneys...

It will help others...

Absolutely! That was great info.  I love this site and hope that I can contribute although I am still learning Mooney...

I thought of a Stephen Coonts book that mentioned the effects of Halon on humans and I found an interesting site regarding this issue.

Where a portable Halon extinguisher is used by cabin crew, it is usually recommended to consider donning a smoke hood before discharging it so as to eliminate this risk, but for pilot use on the flight deck, this will not be an option and risk awareness is the only defence. The fumes are toxic if inhaled and all practicable precautions should be taken when they are used.

Do they use Halon anymore, thought it was replaced by a more user friendly substitute:

A more EPA friendly substitute... expect ozone depletion to be the issue...?
