Remote Oil Filter - O-320 in RV-9A - Move from stock location

Im looking to understand if its possible to move the stock location of the Oil filter to someplace more convenient. are there any "simple" solutions for this?

Note: the airplane is built and flying. the pic is from during the build process but shows the current location of the oil filter.

Thanks in advance.

If you have room on your firewall (and your bank account can stand it!) The AirWolf remote oil filter works great. Makes oil filter changes a breeze!

I would get a 90° filter adapter that puts the filter at the 11 o'clock position (viewed from rear). You will also need an extension to get the filter to clear the engine mount (I think 1.4"). B&C and ECi both make these adapters and extensions.

I have an airwolf remote filter on my 6A (O-320), and the 90° adapter on a One Design (IO-360-B) - oil changes are easier with the adapter, and the installation is easier and a couple hundred $$ cheaper.
