I am near the point of drilling and bolting stuff to the firewall on my RV-9A with O-320 power. Van's drawing 31 shows the PC680 battery location on the left (pilot side) of the firewall. However, I see lots of Google pics of -9A firewall with the battery mounted on the right side of center close to the firewall recess above the gascolator. Same with -7A models. Can someone tell me what is wrong with the stock Van's location or what is the advantage of moving to the right side? Is there some kind of "gothcha" involved here?
