Damper lever lift rod replacement

[Jon Page]

I sent this to Warren and am also placing it here as this is a good topic.

Hi Warren,
The rod holders can be punched out and reversed or new holes
could be drilled in the rod.  The angle for the lifter flange can also be bent
the other way for 'right lift'.

Hope everything is going well,
