Ok, thanks for the clarification.

Though there is a left and right mounting bracket, can the motor itself be used in either position? I've got a motor that runs, but I don't see why it could not be used on either side. Is the bracket built into the motor case or is it a separate part? Seems like it should fit on either side and work, since the motor runs either direction. What am I missing here? I can see a right and left bracket, but shouldn't the same motor fit either one?
