Default Mounting bracket for fire extinguisher?

Bought myself a Foam extinguisher for the FTR, and wondered if anyone had the dimensions for a mounting bracket so that I could fab one for mounting on the front lower part of the seat?

Alternatively if anyone has one kicking around, I'd be interested in purchasing, but I very much doubt if many folk have them fitted?

Here's the fitment guide to the OEM fire extinguisher, if that helps.

I got the OEM accessory fire extinguisher and mounted it yesterday. It doesn't have a security strap though. The mounting bracket fit perfectly, but the only thing retaining the extinguisher in it's clip is spring tension. I don't think that will even stand up to maximum braking without coming loose and hitting my legs, let alone an impact.

Has anyone else been (insert adjective here) enough to buy one from the dealer? If so, is there a latching strap for the extinguisher itself?

I have an extinguisher mounted in the back of my Land Rover and it is just held by the metal strap. Admittedly being in the back and behind a barrier means the consequences of it coming loose are negligible, but it has never come loose despite some significant off road abuse.

It's the metal strap that's missing. It should snap into the cage (minor spring tension where the neck is held) and then be secured by the strap. I was wondering if anyone else had the JLR unit to compare.

I'll likely use the extinguisher elsewhere and get something other than dry chemical for the car, but this seems a defective assembly.
