I'd say buy yourself a Haynes manual and check in there, but I just looked in mine and I don't think they have what you're looking for. Anyone else have any ideas? I may be changing mine in a few months when I get a full exhaust set-up and I don't wanna screw anything up.

Gimme a minute or two. I'll run out to the shop and grab the Prothane MM Box and instructions. I know they say which way is up...

The top of the MM is the more flatter of the two ends. This should be where you had to drill thru THREE RIVIETS. The bottom is more rounded and you should have only had TWO RIVETS to drill. Hope that helps.
