I've designed and built a tank that goes behind the rear seats and hold
20 gallons. It installs and removes in minutes thru the baggage door. I
requires under floor mods for attaching to the floor, so is best done
before closing the baggage floor out. If interested in pictures contact
me by email.

Thank you Patrick for the photos. That's is precisely the sort of thing I was thinking
about doing. I asked Vans about drilling the Web and they seemed to think
it would be ok as long as the holes were small and not great in number. I
think 4 x #19 holes would qualify in that respect.
As for the 3M Velcro I think that Idea has merit as well. I have actually got some
here that I had used to mount a Remote Control Head for a Ham radio in my
SUV. It worked well for about 8 months and then the Sun eventually melted the
glue and it fell off. (it gets hot in Aussie) I still can't get the glue off the
Dashboard :)
thank you all

Instead of drilling new holes, i first try using any existing holes. Thus, I used
the existing spar attach bolts to attach a small shelf for holding all my control
stick wiring and connections, which worked out well.
Unfortunately, i can't find photos of my install. FWIW.

Hey John,
While I suggested the velcro, and think it could be perfect
for the use, I have one more thing for a thinking point.
If you do use velcro, pay close attention to the overall
installation. Remember that your controls are under the seat
as well. So ANYTHING you put under the seat, be wary that
it's secured in such a way that if it breaks free it can't
jam the controls. I'd be fine using velcro, but, you
probably should put a cable clamp on the harness, perhaps
secured with an adel clamp to the gear leg mount or something.
That way if it does break free, it can't get near the stick.
Just wanted to keep that thinking point out there because
anytime you do anything around the control surfaces, be
extra careful. That goes for people putting things down the
center tunnel as well.

Good point Tim. I was also thinking of trying to make some sort of bracket that
I could hang off the cover plate that is under the seat.
Maybe something coming off the existing bolts on the Undercarriage mounts would
be good as well. I will have a think about it.
Another thought I just had is to make some sort of tray arrangement so that the
tray captures anything that falls off before it falls onto the control rods.
thanks all again.

Thanks Bill. I was beginning to wonder if my question made it to the
list. I know some used the Gretz....arguments for it?

Hey Kelly,
I have the Gretz. The first one I hooked up melted when I powered it up.
Since SteinAir is so awesome they sent me another one right away. Must have
had a bad batch of pitots way back then. The second one worked/works great.
I would go for the simplest solution. The Gretz has a timer and three
lights for the panel, (fail),(heat),(idle). I think a pitot that you turn
on if there is visible moisture and 10 C or less and forget about it is
good. The only thing I like about the Gretz is there is a light that is on
when it is on. As long as you have a way to remind you it's on. Maybe one
light would be sufficient without a timer. I don't know anything about the
other pitots so I can't say they would be simpler.
