Girling Disc Pad Anti-rattle Springs 200

OK, I Dutifully searched the archives with no luck - maybe my search terms were too obtuse. So, I gotta ask about something which has bugged me for four decades: should the legs (arms?) of the anti-rattle springs for Girling calipers be installed outboard or inboard?

I have carefully looked at the photos in the Bentley, and before that the Haynes, many times and the springs are shown mounted both ways. If there is no definitive instructions from Volvo for this minutia, are you an innie or an outie?

Girling Disc Pad Anti-rattle Springs 200

I find it easier to mount them from the inside out. You can hook one end under a pin and then slip the other pin through. Having the spring between the pads gives you plenty of room the push the other end into place. -- Dave
