1940 car front knuckle original placement left to right

[Noonan]

Need a bit of help here, finalizing the install of the knuckles on the 1940 coupe..

 

I am hoping someone knows whether the steering stop bolt on a 1940 knuckle was originally towards the rear of the knuckle or the front ?

If I swap the knuckles from left to right it changes the placement of the steering stop bolt as well as the grease fitting locations.

The main reason I am being fussy about this is so that when I start mocking up brake mounting plates I would like to have the knuckles installed as per the factory.

My guess would be install the knuckles with the stop bolt toward the rear ?

this should be oriented to the rear.....as per the pics I have of my car when converting to disc brakes...

The steering stop bolt goes on the rear of the stub axle as Plymouthy has said.... on my Oz 1940 Dodge(essentially a 1940 Plymouth), I used the later, 41-54 style (used up to 1962 on the Oz Chrysler Royals) stub axles which again have the stop bolt at the rear.......andyd
