Default RV-6 Electric Boost Pump Location

If anyone has pictures of their boost pump location I would appreciate some help. I purchased a flying airplane that has the pump located in the cockpit along the R passenger side just forward of the spar. It is awfully intrusive and an eye sore. I would sure like to relocate the pump.
Thanks,
Dean

That was the original location depicted in the plans... actually it was shown on the pilot side but the right side works better with where the engine drive fuel pump inlet is.
A lot of RV-6(A)'s have been built or updated with it located like the plans show for a carbed RV-7 or 9 (on the lower center firewall hidden behind a cover), but this also requires relocating the battery fwd of the firewall.

Default Fuel pump location

My fuel pump, fuel switch and fuel filter all sit forward of the spar in the middle. You can see the components outside the plane at http://dmack.net/map_cockpit.htm

Installed - http://dmack.net/plumbing2.html

It is very unobtrusive.
