brian French jeep spare parts

Postby Jean Georges » Mon Jan 30, 2012 11:41 am

I was reading the Brian French spare parts description and found certainly one mistake about this sentences saying this :
The bracket mounts on the Drivers side for most jeeps, however the Slatgrill MB and Script GPW had it located on the passenger's side cowl.
On my Ford vep 6088 the fire extinghisher bracket is driver side anyway it could not be installed passenger side because of the glove box which is too low compare to a slat grill
Brian French is a very remarkable job , this could be corrected
are you ok with this ?

jean,
on my jeep, 7127, the fire extinguisher bracket is also on the driver side if that helps you with your question any.

The MB's that had the Fire Extinguishers mounted on the RH side were prior to installation of the glove box.
