i want to do that cuz i got a 15/16mc from a 95 ex sedan with all disc brakes. but the holes doesnt line up with my stock brake booster. if i can flip it it would work perfect and the bolts will line up

If you rotate it 180 degrees the studs for the brake booster are still going to be in exactly the same place.
