I tried mine in that location, and found it difficult to reach in flight to turn on/off. I now have mine on the right side, sort of fwd in the baggage area. Now I can reach easily behind the pax to turn the bottle on, at an easy arms-length. Can see the pressure gage easily, as well.
YMMV.

Same as Pete
I mounted mine right behind the passenger seat, close to the cross brace. Easy to reach and see the gauge. I used some industrial strength Velcro mounted to the interior panel. Easy in and out.

You definitely want to mount the bottle where the pilot can easily reach the valves in flight.

I mount mine just behind the two seats on top of the beam that supports the two seat backs. It nests in there quite well with the valve on the outboard right side I can easliy reach it. In other words it lies horizontal and parallel to the to the seat back support.

thanks, I'll move it to the right side for better access to the valve.

Steve,
As others have mentioned the right side leaves it accessible. Some mount in the middle but that makes baggage access tough. I used this clamp http://www.chiefaircraft.com/pilot-s...-brackets.html and mounted it to the flap cover. This clamp is removable leaving only the bracket screwed to the cover. Takes only 2 min. to install the oxygen if we are going to travel. |

On my 6A I mounted it in the center like shown. I have no problem reaching back to turn it on in flight. I used a shorter bottle that is at the same height as the cross-bar. I'll search for the brackets I used, but they are very nifty. I mounted it to the flap motor tunnel. I saw that some people are using Velcro - Seems like you would have a very dangerous projectile in the cockpit.

That sounds pretty good. What size is the bottle you use? |
