MG MGB Technical - Rear shock conversion

Hi,

I am in the process on doing a rear shock conversion on a 1971 MGB GT.

What I need to know is the orientation of the shock mounting plate that bolts to the body.
Does the beveled edge face forward or backwards. This is important as it will change the length of the shock.

Thanks. Neil.P.

What make of shock are you fitting?

From memory the threaded boss is uppermost. The bevel suggests which way round the bracket goes.
