Must not interfere with the operation of switches, fuel selector, rudder pedals, etc. So, let's hear everyone's suggestions on this.

Just this weekend I was trying to determine a good place to mount a fire extinguisher in my ES.  I still haven't figured out just where it would be best located.  I thought that I could build a cavity into the right upholstery panel and mount it below the co-pilot's stick, just in front of the co-pilot's seat.  Anyone have a better suggestion. 
 
My criteria is:
  1. Must be within pilot's easy reach,
  2. Must be out of the reach of the feet (don't want it getting kicked)
  3. Must not block ingress/egress.
  4. Must not be mounted where it would become a missle in a forced landing
  5. Must not interfere with the operation of switches, fuel selector, rudder pedals, etc.
 
So, let's hear everyone's suggestions on this.
 
BTW, I also have a fire detector under the cowl which is wired to a large LED on the panel.  It is sensitive enough to spot the flame from a cigarette lighter across the hangar.  Call me paranoid if you wish, but I think this would have provided some valuable information in this particular emergency situation.

John -

We did a 100 hour inspection on our ES and found that that all of the nuts on the 4 contactors in the back of the airplane needed re-torquing. The firewall connections were OK. Another data point for the archives.
