M201s left the factory with a number of accessories including a fire extinguisher. The bracket for this was fitted to holes in the wing on the left-hand side. It is rare to come across an M201 that is still fitted with this bracket as it would appear that these were removed from most jeeps during later years of service. This is possibly because the original model of fire extinguisher was withdrawn from service and the bracket therefore became redundant.

I am grateful to Alistair Renvoize in the UK for providing the above photograph of the original bracket on his M201 No 8992.

The original extinguisher in position is shown in the photo (left). It is the best available at present until somebody out there can find a better one. Can anybody out there help with this?

The photo on the right (from JLM)shows the original and very rare bracket used on very early 6 volt production models. The photo below is again of a 6 volt model (note BO light) with an original but later type extinguisher in position.
