I tried deliberately installing it the other way (trying to get the motor
farther away from the exhaust); but it wouldn't fit.
But I believe that, if it did fit, it would still work. The shaft seems to be
on-center to the mounting holes, so the shaft would
stay the same distance from the ring gear.
On the one I have, you can also try rotating the adapter. That didn't fit
either. I finally wound up just sticking a piece of
roofing tin between the starter motor and exhaust pipe. In another 8 years or
so, I'll find out if that worked :) (Previous gear
drive starter lasted about 10 years before the exhaust heat cooked the grease
and ruined the bearings.)
