    Yes mate, it’s weird, the end/handle is also notched a tad (see pic) almost like it would slide into an extension piece??

    Spotted at our new Volvo Truck dealer Wacol

    One of Volvo Group workers owns this car and apparently it hasn’t been cleaned in 10 years. The DP told him to park it out on the road in future as it brings the shiny new dealership down :eek:

    Fantastic choices there Styria. The Buick Roadnaster was used as the basis for Australia’s very first production car. The Holden 48-215.

    Thanks mate. I have tracked down an extinguisher, but the owner does not have a bracket. I am also struggling to find any images of a fire extinguisher in place on the net. I just want to be sure I get the positioning correct.
