The pic isn't necessarily accurate...... I would give them a call, and have a chat. Several members here have the air gap, and this is the first I have heard of having to adapt the linkage and such to the opposite side.

I'm betting someone got clever in photoshop to , uh, 'enhance' the image, and flipped it..

the linkage on every one I've seen is on the same side as OE..
