That is Orin's airplane. I noticed it at Oshkosh two years ago when he had just completed his Turbo. He said he reversed the installation in order to take advantage of the gear leg being able to go higher into the wheel well (and therefore improving wheel clearance) than if it had been done the other way. I've done mine the same as Orin. Seems to fit fine. If I recall correctly the only reason they were done the original way was that was the way they were done on the standard gear and the reason the standard gear did it that way was to accommodate the three piece gear door, which you don't have on the outback set up.
