I've got that 1 in my westy-have not used it on purpose, but have set
it off by mistake!  Make sure when you get a pair from Costco, that
you check to see that they are still fully charged.  My 1st pair
weren't & of course Costco gave me my $ back & I bought the same ones
but fully charged.  Zoltan is right, you have to drill new holes for
the bracket.  The bracket is plastic, however, & mine broke now
requiring a new bracket & or pair of extinguishers.

YMMV,

Tom B.-never pull the pin unless you plan to use the extinguisher
