Can the VR be turned around so the terminals are on the bottom without drilling any additional holes in the radiator bracket?

No, not without drilling at least one new hole (and probably 3) as the regulator has two mounting holes at one end and just one at the other. Also I rather doubt the harness leads are long enough. Not that you can't leave it without the rubber guard (most have), just don't decide that it's convenient perch to lay a metal wrench or other metallic tool.

Yeah, even a length of heater hose slit open would be functionally equivalent but it's nice to have the "right stuff".

Note the regulator mounts differently than the 1955 models.
