Backwards upper rad hose outlet? Pointing other way? Swivel?

I'm considering a Ron David triple-pass radiator. They say the triple pass (where it makes 3 crossings across the radiator instead of 1) boosts cooling capacity by about 25% in the same package size.

The downside is it moves one of the hose outlets - they wind up on the same side. Since the water pump comes out the passenger side bottom, that means the top has to come out the passenger side top, which is backwards from stock.

Does anyone make a thermostat housing that is basically pointed the mirror image of the factory one?

I could likely get a swivel but I'm afraid it'll leak and look too out of place.
