Reinstall atom of control arm bump stops

Hey guys, putting together the front end again on my 86 Z28 and forgot to take a picture of the positioning of the bump stops that mount to the lower control arms. Just want to make sure I don't have them on backwards. They do install both ways. Anyone have a picture of the correct mounting position ? Thanks !!!

As I recall, there are two holes in the a-arm, one for the bolt and one for a small nub that positions the stop.

Yep, there's a tab on the bump stop that only let's you install it one direction.
