TR4/4A Accelerator shaft install - location of bushing plates?

[Popeye]

Hi all,

A wise person said to install the accelerator shaft prior to putting the engine in the body. I’m not that wise…

However, I’m managing through this decently well.

My question: the nylon bushing is held in place with two plates. Where do these plates mount: inside, outside, or one in either side of the firewall?

The self tapping screws used to hold them are too small for the holes in the plates, instead they “bite” into the firewall. The weebly site (amazing resource) shows the plates mounted on either side of the firewall, with two screws going one way, and two the other way: > Pedals and Pedal Box <

The plates and nylon balls are all on the engine side of the firewall.
So the four screws go through the plates and into the firewall.
