<< Just got off the phone with Dave at the Roadster Factory and he confirms
that the upper fulcrum pins for a TR 4 through 6 mount the opposite way
you would expect--the concave side points toward the engine, not around
the damper housing as it was actually designed to do. The TRF parts
manual does show this, but not clearly enough to risk another teardown.
Thanks to Chris, Andy and Fred for the quick feedback.

Dave Who?
I just checked my TR4 manual and it pretty clearly shows the upper fulcrum pin
mounted so the concave portion faces out toward the wheel. I harken back to
times past and dimly recall installing one of these the opposite way and not
being able to mount the shock.
I think something got lost in the translation from English to English here.
