Default Fire Extinguishers

Over all the years I've had my Cobra, I've never installed a fire extinguisher. I've had a few carb leaks as well; guess I am lucky nothing ever caught fire.

On location, I take it the normal spot is between the seats on top of the transmission tunnel, and with the nozzle pointed forward so the latching mechansim is easy to get to. Although if it went off accidently, the cockpit would fill up possibly causing lack of visibility while driving. Hmmmm...not that likely I suppose, unless left out in the sun for an extended period.

But what size and type to run? I suppose ABC is good, but a 5 lb unit looks a little large, although better too much than too little I suppose.

For those of you that have installed a Fire Extinguisher, what type, size, location and orientation did you settle on?
