I’ve done this conversion many times in the past.
From memory I believe I’ve never needed to re-solder any wires nor have I needed to fit the small solenoid PCB upside-down.
In my procedure I labelled the ‘lane change’ solenoid with a small piece of tape to differentiate it from the ‘stay straight’ solenoid. I then transferred the electonics and the solenoids to the desired track piece making sure the ‘lane change’ and ‘stay straight’ solenoids were in the desired positions. I believe I rotated by 180 degrees the small solenoid PCB to ensure all wiring fitted without strain.
The conversion was a 15 minute task.
One detail: more recent LCs have a pin which holds the output flipper in a mid position. This clearly needs to be removed to free up the flipper when it becomes the input flipper. I found a carpet tack removal tool very useful for this task as it avoids damage to the plastic of the track at the point where the pin is located.
I hope this helps!
