Left and Right configurations with Sheet Metal

We have a lot of sheet metal parts on our robot that we design using Solidworks. Inevitably, there is a left and right version for most of them, where the only difference is that most/all of the bends are bent the other way. To do this, we normally have to remodel a significant amount of the part, and add to the clutter of the model.

With Configurations, we can easily make bigger and smaller versions of the same part, or ones with extra or fewer features. But what we haven't found out how to do is just flip all the bends to the other side, or take the current bends and instead bend them the other way without remodeling anything. Is there a good way to do this?

Thanks,
Austin Schuh
