Default Motor mount install

Like the idiot I am, I didn't make a mental note of the tabs on the mounts.

When installing the mounts back onto the block, do those tabs face down or up???
Looks like either mount will fit either side, but I need to know which way that tab faces.
Thanks in advance!!!!

I am using the stock clamshells with Prothane inserts.

There is a little tab on the mounts. Trying to figure out which they face when mounted onto the block. Up or down?

The Tabs face up. I did this install last weekend. Good Luck.
Also, the three rivet side of the clamshell faces up.

I had to grind off the bottom 2 tabs.
The poly mount should only fit in the clamshell one way.

Right. But the clamshell with fit two different ways onto the block.
Tab would be either up or down.

This is how it should sit on the block. I had to grind off the bottom 2 tabs to get the bolts in.
