ME-406 ELT Installation

[hammer408]

I going to purchase an Artex ME 406 and curious as to the best location for it. I don't think between the baggage floor ribs or under the seat would be a good idea due to possibility of garing the ELT due to moving baggage and the sort around.......
also what suggestions or ideas as to a way to install it.........

Any input greatly appreciated.

I put my AK450 just behind the bulkhead cover level with the baggage cover. I do not have my plans here so I can not give you a part call out. The location is below and behind where everyone is putting the "Experimental" label. I built a tray and provided access via a hinged split top cover and camloc fasteners. I want quick access for emergency use or check out. I put the antenna on the top aft of the sliding canopy rail. The mount is very stiff so no worthy about vibration.
