Dash mounting bracket install

[plothead]

Team
I am installing the dash, and for the life of me, cannot find info on how to orient the lower dash brackets (image attached).
Does the curve/offset flange face the firewall (in) or the driver (out)?
Thanks much!

Using your description the "curve" faces the driver.

That little "curve" bends around the relief on the kick panel at the pinch weld. The welded nut goes up. The Sems washer bolt also points up.

And you don't install those brackets until the dash is already hung in the Bronco...and they go in last. Don't be tempted to put the brackets on first and try to pivot or hang weight on them.

Fantastic, thanks much!
