Summit Electric Cutout Kits Beware!

The motor actually would need to go on the other side of the flange where there isn't anything to bolt up to. I'm just trying to get things ready to start the motor tomorrow so I'm leaving it like it is, see if they leak, then flip the driver's side backward and see if it leaks. It looks like the way it is set up, the larger side of the flapper takes resistance from the exhaust to keep it shut. Flipped, the small side will try to do that job so the motor may not keep it shut completely. I'll report back with results.

You are missing what I am saying or I am missing the boat. The issue is the other side of the flapper needs to be rotated 180 degrees, correct? The part the the flapper won't allow that as it is because the shaft is in the wrong place, correct? Flipping the motor 180 degrees would flip the shaft 180 degrees, correct? Bolting the flapper back on would put it on the correct side and allow the motor to be on the other side where you want it, correct. It would put the now rear of the flange/flapper as the front of the flange which would result with the motor being on the opposite side and still be bolted to the same place as it is now. Maybe I am dreaming but this works in my head real well.
