Methyl bromide fire extinguisher

From 2 years ago.

With 4 1/2 round aluminum at 18.6 pounds per foot. the finished reproduction extinguishers will be about the same weight as an original full one, around 14 to 15 pounds. Turning the bottles from solid aluminum is going to be the least expensive option. The machining estimate should be quite close.

If you are making the retaining clamp/band for the mounting bracket I would
be interested in a couple?

Thanks chaps,this extinguisher had only been described to me as brass at the time of originally posting the enquiry.
Now I've seen it I can see its copper - don't know about markings though.

Tony, I have never seen the dash, just the top edge of it, enough to know its Cab 11 or Cab 12. There is nearly no documentation that I have been able to find. The info is scarce.
When are you in N.Z. next? Email me.

Hi, I've made a couple for my ferret and have a few spare, i will make to order, also make the brackets. valve and strikers are turned from solid brass and bottles are polyester resin, they are accurate in weight too. youtube search methyl bromide fire extinguisher Brackets are anti tamper and you need a 8mm spanner and a 5mm allen key to remove your precious fire extinguisher! email: gr8cruisers@yahoo.co.uk
