Can you get an underseat bracket to clip to the underside of the front of the passenger seat - I think that's a dealer option (or is that a 911 option - brain having a brown out)...

for what purpose?

putting out an engine fire or just helping you get out of a burning wreck?

If you want to protect the car and yourself then you need a fully plumbed in system, professionally fitted

If you just want to be able to put out a small fire and get yourself out/keep it at bay until others drag you out, then Ive always gone for a small, light powder wand like a Sparco fireater

smaller and lighter than a metal bottle - literally just velcro it on under the seat, or at the side of your leg/under the dash - you want it within arms reach when you are strapped in

..always a good idea to have one in any car as part of your emergency kit .......
