Adj. Spring Plate Help.

I will be starting to install adjustable spring plates on my 1973 911T that I purchased from our host and I am not sure of one thing. When the spring plates are installed, would the location of the adjusting screw be on the top side of the plate or on the bottom side. Would appreciate any help regarding this matter.

Regards.
Lorne Ross

I can believe that the springplates are NOT factory, correct?
The factory version does not have a screw for adjustments.

If not, the adjusting screw goes on the bottom side of the plate.

If they are Weltmeister the 6mm allen head is on the bottom.
Put anti seize on it before installing, and moly grease on the urethane bushings and splines.
