Teardrop Engine mounting nut - which way?

Sam Johnson · #1 PostAuthor: **Sam Johnson** » Fri Mar 04, 2016 5:59 pm

Just fitted crash bars to my 1977 Z1000A1, not sure which way up the lower teardrop mounting nuts go.
Does the pointed end go into the space first or does the hole end go first with the pointed end pointing to the floor?

Can't find anything on the NET about it.

Thanks in advance.

Hole in first.
Pointy end down.

Thanks for all the info its put my mind at rest.
I could only get them in with the pointed end facing down.

Thanks again
