Center seat headset plugs

As I ramp up for the day I actually take physical possession of my plane (company has implemented a no travel policy so I cant go down and get my training and get the plane home), I am planning for some immediate improvements including extending the intercom to the center seats. Currently only the front seats are wired to the plugs with extra wire run to the center seats, but no plugs. If you guys could snap a picture of your center seat headset plugs when you get a chance, that would be great.

Much appreciated and everyone be safe!!!

Tom

If I did mine over again I would probably use these on the side wall. Pretty common solution. Currently mine are overhead in the middle. It's ok but the cords do get in the way when entering and exiting

Thanks much for the picture! I have not seen them mounted in the ceiling like that before. I had the example mount you sent in my last plane....fit right inside the ash tray area perfectly. I am thinking the side walls as well. I have to replace my side windows, so that would be the perfect time to install the jacks in the side panels.

I have built in O2 and I think that system and gauges takes up the space you have your jacks located.

Do you have, or can you get a picture Frank? In my 172 I had jacks shoved in the arm rests as well so I think I know what you are talking about, but a picture would be great. Thanks!

Jacks

My jacks are in center ceiling. My 337 is pressurized so the O2 generators and breakers are in the center as well, still fits well.

Thanks much for the picture! I like that interior!

My headliner is more like Herb's with the overhead council ending and a zipper in the headliner from that point back. So where yours are located I just have a zipper. I looked at some pictures of the headliner and there is a little room left between the O2 controls and the end of the surrounding trim, but I have no idea of what it looks like there with the O2 system.

I am liking and leaning towards either the side wall or arm rests.

Middle Row intercom jacks

Hi Tom,
Here is a few pictures of my installation I am currently completing on the middle row jacks. I am installing them just under the arm rests - seemed to be best location for when seated and will not interfere with passenger, seat or egress. For the last row, I mounted on the bulkhead - lower portion, just above the vent to the outside. That one is not recessed. The mounts I purchased from Aircraft Spruce.

Regards,
Jeff

Thanks for the pictures Frank! I have a couple of options now thanks to you guys. I will have to sit back there and do some pondering on what I would like best if I were a passenger. Thanks again guys!!
