I mounted mine very similar to Larry New but a little forward closer to the baggage bulkhead. I connstructed the mounting bracket a year ago after reviewing all posts at that time and just finished the dual adahrs mounting and plumbing last week. Good location, none better.

Hope to make first flight in June. (Is that God laughing I hear?)

Don't put it too close to the baggage bulk head. You may someday have some magnetic baggage that will screw it up.

I too mounted mine on my tipper behind the bulkhead similar to Jamie's but instead mounted mine fore and aft. Picture 647 of the second builders log.

This is half way between the baggage rib bulkhead ( F706) and the next rearward rib( F707) looking aft.
( yes that rivet on the left side was re-set 8-)) )









Some measurements for you. Note the 9 pin connector faces rearward once installed. Also you have to put a slight down ward angle on the verticals, as the aft deck runs downward to the tail.
The base is 6 12/32 inch long. On the left side vertical near the 9pin, its height is 2 10/32 ( rear ) and the front is 2 30/32 ( forward side ) I made the width the same size as the ADAHRS. It was made out of 032.
