which way round ?
2 brackets to the front or 2 brackets to the rear ?

the joys of wireless :-) in the garage re-assembling the set i got from good ole BMC and as scab has one fitted one way tother the other need to know - reason is i have longer replacement bolts for the top retainers and need to cut them off after assembled - would prefer the nut to the outside hence which way round ?

Doesn't really matter - but general idea is two brackets in front - as long as both the same should be ok. 'Good OLE BMC' - huh!

FWIW (just been and checked) the original LCVs were 3 at the front, two at the back. Aftermarket LCV = 2 each end :(
