Perhaps it's just that webshop, you may ask your dealer about it.

I will do that. It appears to be a very smart and tidy solution and better than my current solution in the boot.

Just a thought.
I have done that and saved the car after a binding brake calliper resulted in flames hadn’t I not used the extinguisher then the car probably would have been a write off along with potential other risks to vehicles and property...

It's tidy, but I don't like it, I find the position uncomfortable for the passenger (sometimes that's me).
It's not a problem as long as I have the legs streched, but sometimes, during longer rides, I like to fold a leg
to alter my position and that's not quite possible because of the extinguisher.
It also sits in the/my way to get in or out of the car. You may consider some kind of simulation before you
actually buy the bracket.

Does anyone have a link for this bracket now?

Have many people fitted these? Does it get in the way?

Anyone able to post a photo?

I found this link in US: https://usparts.volvocars.com/p/Volv.../31675539.html

My wife did not like the placement with her shorter legs. Its location (front passenger seat) seems to be ideal for a commercial vehicle, but not necessarily a consumer vehicle. I have not tried it, but still tempted.
