There was some discussion or an article on the site about replacing the teak pocket with a plastic version with teak trim. Now I can't find it. Can anyone direct me to the discussion or article?
Thanks.

Joe - your Installation Instructions for the teak Fire Extinguisher Pocket are awesome. One question:
From SSI Custom Plastics it looks like No 49800000 comes in two sizes -which one did you use? from your download with the team frame dimensions, im guessing the 6 3/4"W x 18 1/2"H x 3 5/8"D OD
SSI Custom Plastics No 49800000
6 3/4"W x 18 1/2"H x 3 5/8"D OD
or
4 7/8"W x 16"H x 3 1/2"D ID
Thanks

I was thinking about rebuilding mine using the smaller pocket from SSI. Then make the top rail of the frame extra wide to still cover the hole and to accomidate a horn...if it will fit.

Wrufus - i believe 49800000 comes in one size; one of the dimensions you list is the outer dimension, the other is the inner dimension.

From the SSI web page
This from SSI's web page.
No 49800000
6 3/4"W x 18 1/2"H x 3 5/8"D OD
4 7/8"W x 16"H x 3 1/2"D ID
No 49809000
6 7/8"W x 15 7/8"H x 3 5/8"D OD
4 7/8"W x 14"H x 3 1/2"D ID
For reference, my original box measures 16" high on the inside, whick is big for modern fire extinguishers.

It seems to be the first one.
http://www.ssicustomplastics.com/fire...ishers.htm
6 3/4"W x 18 1/2"H x 3 5/8"D OD
4 7/8"W x 16"H x 3 1/2"D ID
As you can see from my drawing I made from the original installation instructions I received from SSI, the cutout is:
16 7/8 high
5 3/8 wide

Not sure if they changed the installation instructions or not as it has been several years since I purchased one of these boxes.
