Pac Bay wrapper

I just received my new Pac-Bay wrapper and I think I'm a little disapponted. The way they have it set up is with the motor (butt-end) to the right end of my bench and thread carriage to the rear. Given the fact that I have been wrapping for the past five years with the butt end to my left it just doesnt seem right. If I end for end it I now have the butt end to my left as I want but the thread carriage is now to the front. Again that just doesn't seem right. Not being in a completely clear state of mind at the time (as in Dogfishhead Ale 60 minute IPA) I figured I would simply drill some new holes and remount the motor to the left end and all would be well. Obviously the motor now runs in the wrong direction. No problem, I then switch the motor power leads assuming the motor would run the other direction. Wrong. What am I missing here? Is there any way I can change the direction of the motor, or do I have to put it back to the way it was and adapt to wrapping from the other end?
