Booster pump switch

My 73 8KCAB has the booster pump switch in the aft-most location on the switch panel. It's rather difficult to reach when strapped in with a Hooker harness. Since it needs to be turned on and off at least twice each flight, moving it somewhere more accessible would be nice.

Other 8KCAB's I've flown had the switch on the dash.

Anyone have an idea of what needs to be done to move the switch or should I just take up yoga?

Thanks.
 
I had the same thing in my 1975 Decathlon. I moved it to the lower pannel where it should be, as on the newer aircraft. It was not difficult as I was rebuilding the entire aircraft at the time.

The mechanic had reason to get in and taxi it today and decided that he'll move the switch to the dash the next time it is in for a 50 hour service.
