Rh/Lh track rods?

Turns out when I've built my SW back up I've put the track rods on the wrong sides


So my question is are the track rods handed or can I just turn the track rod ends round so the tapers point down the way?

They are not sided
down the way??
The ser 3 33's had hex adjusters to make adjustment easier and more accurate, what do you have?

By turning them the right way up ?
I don't know if its the correct way to centralise your rack, but now would be a good time to do it.
I did it by turning my hex adjusters all the way in on both arms, then the track rod ends all the way in, then turn the hex adjusters the same on both sides. When i had it tracked, i had -11 on one side and - 11.5 on the other side.
