Default Oxygen System for Discus b

Hi,

I am flying a certified Discus b in the US. I am looking for ideas on what kind of oxygen cylinder I can install in my ship. Ideally, I would not like to replace the existing mount. Unfortunately Mountain High systems don't fit. Does anybody in the US have experience with this kind of mount and the options available?

Here are a few pics of my current setup:

Thanks,

The SH front bottle mount is made to fit a steel cylinder not an aluminum one. The steel one have an neck that fits in the front mount. Aluminum cylinders do not have a neck. SH should sell an adapter but I do not think they do. Since your glider is type certificated you need to be very careful about modifications to anything.
