Dont forget what you use it for!
The manual trim system is great, easy, and effective. The only thing I would be concerned with is the ergonomics of your proposed location. When work load is highest, your in the pattern. I oriented my flap switch next to my throttle (centered in panel). The standard location of the trim knob makes it very easy to adjust power, move to flaps, make trim adjustments, move to flaps, move to throttle, quickly and smoothly. The flaps, throttle, and trim are all in the same basic area and orientation. Your position is not that far off, but operating it backwards and flipping your hand over will take some getting used to.
If you fly more than one airplane, it will seem ackward as the convention is "clockwise-screw in-nose down, counter-screw out, nose up". ...or push for nose down, pull for nose up, same as your stick. Yours will operate in reverse. That would not be acceptable to me, but to each his own. It looks like a nice clean install but frankly, the loop is not that big of a deal. I put my ELT remote switch on the trim bracket too.
