You need to be specific with wording. Let's say we are talking about the front backing plate bolts, like this thread started with. If you say the heads faced "INWARD", does that mean they faced IN towards the centerline of the car (running front to rear), or does that mean the heads faced inwards to the brake drum?

If you say the castle nuts were visible on the backside of the backing plate, then you know the head faced inwards to the brake drum. As mentioned, original pictures are best. I'd sure like to see a book, or couple of books put together of every known original factory photo showing details of the assembly process of the Model A. As it is now I find many good photos scattered in different books, and then Marco posts photos I've never seen before, so I'm sure there are still a lot of good pictures out there many of us may never see.

I know one of my best resorces for information is to attend the national meets and take hundreds of pictures of fine point cars and unrestored original cars.
