UMI motor mounts

im test fitting my motor and i just realised i have to drop the lower a arm on the front suspension to get to the nuts on the back of the stock motor mounts. that said im going to bolt up the new umi motor mount brackets to the stock K member tomorrow and i was wondering if someone could tel me which way they go in? or if someone had a picture? it would save me some time and keep me from getting it wrong the first time.

what i need to now is: dose the off set on the bracket go to the rear or front of the car.
and
dose the offset hole in the bracket "the one the motor will bolt to" is the offset up or down?

Been a long while since I've done these, so I don't recall the orientation details.

But, you don't have to drop the A-arms to get to the mount nuts. It's easier that way, but using extensions/u-joints/small hands to get to the nuts is arguably easier than dropping the A-arms.
