Where to mount a life hammer

[jhbuining]

With all this water and dikes we have, the dealers provide a life hammer as standard. But where do you mount this thing? In the glovebox, where it lives now, it scratches the iPod, and is difficult to reach during an emergency. The center console or the somewhere in the leg room, as long as it's within reach would seem to be the place to go, but I don't want to ruin the extended leather... Any thoughts?

1st Aid Box? I'm picking one up to keep my pistol in.

I keep mine in my LeatherZ armrest...

If you intend to carry one then surely it needs mounting on somewhere like the transmission tunnel, or down by the side of the drivers seat, where in the event of an accident and the seatbelt locks up you can reach it without leaning forward in the seat.

Anywhere out of easy reach and it may as well be in the boot or garage at home.

The Dutch BMW dealers I have seen always mount it on the side of the centre console. They actually provide two, one for each side.

if you dont have storage under your seat mount it just under there, out of sight and easy to get to.
