If you want to turn the hydro the opposite rotation, you’ll need a left hand plate.
But this does show that you’re slowly talking yourself into another unique project!

Here's what the plates look like. This is actually a different hydro, one I repaired in 2013, but should be identical. Clearly, I was confused, the "fish"
are swimming clockwise. Not sure what I was thinking.
