Al,
I assume you're talking about the two shaft bearings that go through the 
bulkhead. If so, I just went through this with a certain degree of frustration. 
If you look closely at the bearings, you'll notice that one side is actually 
wider then the other side. By that I mean the hole opening that the shaft 
passes through has a tapered opening at one end. That means that the driver 
side bearing should be installed from inside the car and the passenger side 
from inside the engine bay. OR... you could do what I ended up doing.....I 
talked Art Lipp into making Delrin bearings that are a perfect fit and simple 
to install. You can see them here 
(http://tr6.danielsonfamily.org/AcceleratorShaft.htm). I tried using the bronze 
bearings that others suggested and didn't like them for a few reasons, 
including safety.

The rubber bushings that go on the Carburetor throttle shaft:

Does the solid side go on the outside of the carb body or towards the inside.

I wasn't paying attention when I pulled the old ones out.

thanks

Al
