fire extinguisher question

#1 Post by rveltz »

A fire extinguisher was listed on my "65 C. Long gone. Does anyone know who made them or what they look like? Picture? Thanks, Bob

I know the "Gloria" extinguisher is commonly offered for sale but not sure if that was the one offered by Porsche. Perhaps Charlie White's site under "accessories" has the info? Check on The Samba for them.

There is a picture of one on Charlie White's site under Factory accessories for the 356B T-6. The make begins with a "V" but the entire word is not readable.

Probably “Vulkan” fire extinguishers. Company still exists. They now belong to the “Minimax” group

In the old Merritt-Miller book on Porsche accessories, a fire extinguisher is listed as a factory option, though no photo was included.
