Joe, We looked carefully at this for Jim's and my airplanes, and the conclusion was that there is scant room for anything between the head liner and the heads of pilot, crew and passengers. Even the air conditioner box between the rear seats impinges on the head room of rear seat passengers. We made "containers" for ours out of lexan refrigerator storage boxes and mounted them under the arm rests so the snap on covers were flush with the inside panel. The O2 is plumbed into each box, and the masks normally stay connected for the front seats; disconnected for the rear seats. Plug in the rear masks if you're carrying passengers. Activate the system by turning on the master valve at the bottle--located in front of the main spar box, with valve/regulator positioned under the emergency gear pump. It's easily reached/activated from either front seat. Has worked well--so far. Bottom line is that it will be difficult to fold/flatten the EOS mask to less than about 2", and that seemed too much head room to give up.\ Bob ------=_NextPart_000_034E_01C62524.D5D2F320 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
