A favour please

[Ray-ISF]

Hi guys can someone preferably with an early isf on standard suspension do me a favour please?

Take the left and right side covers off in the engine bay to reveal the the suspension top mounts. Can you tell me what direction the marks on top of the mounts are facing both left and right.  A picture would be great.

Looking at the Haynes manual they need to face outwards to the left and right wheel respectively.  There should be two paint marks.

I've replaced my shocks and think mine are not facing the correct way.

Thanks

Cheers Mark exactly what I was after and as I suspected my top mounts need to be turned 90 degrees on both sides.  The coloured markings need to point to the left wheel and right wheel respectively.  Bit difficult to see the markings on yours but if you zoom in you can just make out a yellow paint dot and a blue paint dot.

Regarding the clips I have got a bag full in my glove box, I can post some out to you mate no probs, just PM me your address.
