I never really thought about it, but the arms are straight.... they probably would swap side for side. my thoughts were that it would be less work to cut the rivets, & just swap the brackets/bolt them back on. crazyL

Ya it is alot of work but i have to pull the arms back off to replace the bushings so no big deal ....I guess i would have to figure out the cable routeing or maybe run a lokar e-brake set up .....Im gonna give it a shot saturday i think it would be clean if it would all work out....
