ELT mounting location

[ampzapper]

Any suggestions for where and how to mount the ELT? I’m trying to figure out how to give it enough structure without adding too much weight.

I made a U-channel out of 0.016 2024-T3 and ran it under the elevator pushrod, behind the seats. I'll get a better picture later. We did the design based on some FAA mounting stiffness requirements. The U-channel runs the length of the bay behind the seat and ties into the structure on the bottom of the bay. The nuts that hold the bracket on are on the bottom of the airplane.

My preferred location based of ease of access.
