Smile Verkline rear subframe bushes / washers

Hoping this doesn’t sound too daft… I’m re-furbing the rear subframe on HOL, and I’ve just got some replacement poly bushes to fit from Verkline.

They have come with washers, which has confused me. Are these to fit with the bolts after offering up the frame, or are they intended to go between the frame and the underside of the car?

For shipping i guess, the washers have been cable-tied to the flat side of the bush, i.e the top and there aren’t any instructions as to where to place them during fitment.

HOL is an ‘89 90Q btw. Thanks!

The bushes fit into the subframe holes from underneath and the large washer goes underneath with a new bolt. Just fitted some yesterday

Ah, so rather than the wider (flat) side facing up and fitting against the under body, you fit them with the flat side facing down..? Really glad i asked now!

Thanks so much!

Few picks here might assist.
You have a different subframe on yours mind but you should get the idea.
