Thanks to all for the feedback regarding sources for the subject hardware. Guess I should not be so quick to grab the ACS catalog when a trip to Home Depot or Lowes works just as well or better. As for location, I too have chosen the aft fuselage, mounting the ADAHRS (not yet purchased) on top of a tray bridging the upper longerons approx. 6 in. forward of the F809 bulkhead. It will be at least 24 in. from any fixed magnetic source and I’m keeping the aft fuselage wiring runs as far away as possible. The canopy frame is another issue, but it will only be a potential influence on the ground with the canopy open.

Stan,
You are right on target.
I mounted mine in that very location and it has worked great.

I mounted my magnetometer with shoegoo between the HS mounting point under the Emp fairing. While I get lots of criticism for using shoegoo it hasn't budged in nearly 7 years/925 hrs, it took about 5 minutes to do and I didn't have to mess with non ferris hardware, drilling holes or awkwardly backing up the nuts inside of the end of the tailcone.

Stan,

Here is a photo of my mounting of dual AHRS boxes on a bracket spanning the
longerons aft of the rear baggage compartment.  Notice that the AHRS units
are inclined at the same angle as the panel.  You can also see the brass
hardware using jam nuts to lock the hardware and a dab of indicating
lacquer on each.  The bracket is attached to the longerons with SS
hardware.  Although the SS hardware is slightly magnetic as indicated by
testing with a permanent magnet they don't appear to affect the indication
or operation of the AHRS units.
