Cessna T206 - Cannot fix oxygen tank back in

Hi,

I just bought a 1968 TP206C and to install the GFC500 autopilot they removed the 76 CUFT oxygen tank from the tail.

How can I fit the O2 tank back in tail? Looks like the GFC500 autopilot the servo platform blocks where the oxygen tank was before maybe.

What options do I have or has anybody else run into this issue?

Thank you

Is there room to just move it forward a bit?

I dont think so it needs 2 proper floor re-enforced mounts and the aft one is now covered by the servo tray

On my G model, the oxygen bottle is mounted up on the sidewall, perhaps you can convince your mechanic to install it like the newer version ot he 206 as a logbook entry?

I think that's the move. Would you happen to have any photos of how that mounting looks on yours?
