Also... the bottle of milk likely weighs double that of the extinguisher, it's a simply matter of mass when involved in an accident I was getting at - no need to get all violent about it.

Not being violent mate, just making a point.
A extinguisher in a plastic bracket is not approved for CAMS use, and as far as I am concerned for automotive use. Most work/company cars are fitted with extinguishers, always in metal brackets.
People will do stupid thing, like place heavy objects on parcel shelves (box speakers/first aid boxes etc), might not be illegal as such, but certainly not smart getting your head taken off by the first aid box sitting on the parcel shelf in a collision...
Now getting back to the important point, does anyone make brackets that will allow the extinguisher to be mounted in front of the driver/passenger seat in a B series Falcon so it is attached to the seat rails and moves with the seat, and does not require holes to be drilled in the floor of the car???
