Machine Heads. Can you use Left tuners on a Right hand bass?

I bought some Gotoh GB707 machine heads last year and was going to put them on my Fender Aerodyne. I also just bought some GB350 ResOLites and realised they were different.

The GB707s are 4 in line Right Tuners, that is for a left hand bass.

My immediate thought was to sell them but I am wondering what would be the issues with using the tubers the wrong way around.

I would have to modify the headstock to use them so I am not keen to suck it and see. Any opinions appreciated.

As far as I can see, it would work. The only modification would be drilling the holes for the screw on the other side of the hole for the tuning post.

If I were you I'd fit one, without drilling the fixing screw hole and see how it goes, even if you can't get full tension, you'll see if it fits.
