About this bracket

SPECIFIC BEATS UNIVERSAL

The New Beetle is the car that made modern-retro design serious, a nostalgic nod to the classic Beetle built on the Golf platform with the engine sensibly up front, flower vase and all. A cherished retro icon deserves safety gear as considered as the rest of the car. A Volkswagen New Beetle fire extinguisher bracket from KAP mounts one at the front seat, no drilling.

Designed specifically for the 1998 to 2010 Volkswagen New Beetle. It mounts to the factory seat bolt points, so nothing is drilled, cut or modified. The same bracket fits the driver or the passenger seat. Two seats, two brackets.

A one-size holder answers to no car, so in the New Beetle's curved cabin it hangs off the seat rail and never sits flat. This bracket is shaped to the New Beetle seat foot alone. Universal fit usually means universal compromise.

Designed for straightforward installation using standard hand tools. The cage goes onto the bracket first; the bracket then sits at the seat foot and the seat is secured per the vehicle manufacturer's seat fastener procedure. Two M5 bolts, two nylock nuts and washers are included to attach the cage. Use a metal-strapped, cage-style vehicle extinguisher mount that is correctly sized, in good condition and installed per its manufacturer's instructions. Extinguisher and cage sold separately.

Laser-cut from 11 gauge steel and powder-coated black, it sits low at the seat foot of the New Beetle, clear of the pedals. Backed by KAP's Lifetime Warranty. Proudly made in America.

Depending on the extinguisher fitted, the seat may not travel as far in one direction as it did before. It must still adjust and lock normally. If it does not, stop and contact us.

Over 45,000 KAP brackets sold and 4.9 out of 5 from 1,600+ verified KAP customer reviews across the KAP range. A restored car deserves safety gear that respects the work.

Safety note. Mounts to your vehicle's seat fasteners. Follow the vehicle manufacturer's fastener procedure, check that the seat adjusts and locks normally and clears the belt and airbag components before driving, and use a metal-strapped vehicle extinguisher cage. Installation guide
