Default ELT replacement advice?

I got the PLB and thought I'd attach it to the chute somehow, but the rigger warned me about possible interference with the chute opening. E.g., what looks like a simple shoulder strap actually opens up and turns into multiple ropes that connect to different points in the opened chute. Also don't want the PLB to interfere with the seat belt. Havn't found a mounting solution yet, that would be both safe and comfortable, and secure in the sense that if I bail out the PLB would likely stay attached to the chute (or me). Ideas?


At next repack have your rigger add a hard point to the riser sleeve and build a pocket for the PLB that can be attached to it.
My rigger was happy to add this feature.
