DV, I sent photos of the only two ways to position the brackets. Which one was wrong?

OK, they are identical brackets, but is the same part supposed to be used on both the left and right side?

If the ears side of this angle bracket is facing the engine (inboard), and point upward then the taller, of the two, ears will be to the front of the car (on the right side) and the taller ears will be to the rear of the car (on the left side).

This changes the angle the the control arm relative to horizontal. Tilted up on one side of the car and down on the other. And definitely not parallel to each other.

This does not seem correct. If the two brackets were mirror images of each other(two different parts), then things make more sense.

I be-laboring this issue, I'm sure. Sorry, everyone.
Does anyone have a photo of these brackets installed?
Are these two brackets suposed to be identical or should ther be a left and a right?
DV, I replied to you via email, in greater detail.
What a easy thing for CRII to have done, if they simply had supplied a basic drawing, on a single piece of paper, to accompany the parts.

Thumbs up

Tom,
I've read your letter numerous times. I have come to one of two conclusions, either the ones you have are different than what we used, (which I Doubt) or Dons are a whole new breed of arms, (which I truly doubt).

Or Don has come up with wome new type of support arm. Which I highly doubt but may be wrong.

The only way I could be sure is to actually see both of yours, lay them on Ed's car and see what happens. Like I said in the first place, there has to be a left and a right. Second, you have the flanges laying flat and pointing outward toward the wheel, where before, the flanges pointed toward the motor.
Sorry, but under the circumstances that is the best I can do for you.
DV
