Well, after measuring the space around where I wanted to mount my Helix 8, and taking my tape measure to a couple different places and checking out all of the mounts I could find, I still wasn't really sure, so I made a cardboard mock-up of my compartment. I took it to the stores, and actually tried all the different mounts. It looked like I would have to settle for taking the head off to stow it, as none seemed to articulate enough, to let me stow it with the head on. I decided to go with the one that came very close to working in my cardboard mock-up. Plus, it was one of the sturdiest and really could be locked in. Imagine how happy I was, when I installed it, it actually allowed me to stow, without taking the head unit off! Just barely. The Ballzout was the one that worked. There were four others that I thought were very good, but didn't quite come close enough to doing what I wanted them to do.
