Peter----What I have seen in my limited experience in this area is this:
Earlier models, such as your 250, has them placed as shown in the repair
manuals. Later models have the bolts positioned so that they can be
removed easier. Such is my '73, and a '74 I just repaired. When I
replaced the bushings on a '69 in my care, I turned them around to make
it easier for the next guy. (Maybe me!)

I am going to reinstall the front suspension in my TR250 this weekend. I
have removed all the parts, had most powder coated, purchased new shocks,
springs and uprated (Good Parts) bushings.
Before I begin this process, I have a question about the correct
positioning for the bolts holding the bushings to the fulcrum brackets.
In the Bentley manual, the diagram on page 386 shows the bolts being
inserted from the inside to the outside of the suspension assembly. The
TRF and Moss parts books show the bolts in the opposite orientation.
>From experience, I know that orientation shown by TRF and Moss makes it
easier to work on the suspension (you don't have to remove the fulcrum
brackets to get the bushing bolts out. My question is this, what is the
correct (from the factory) position for these bolts.
Thanks,
Peter Macholdt
