The Ford Barn

I've got a '31 coupe and have had it apart so long that I can't remember how the windshield brackets go back on! I have attached some (bad) photos for reference, but I can either put them on with the swing arm attachment facing in toward the center of the windshield or facing out toward the sides of the car.

Also, mine seem to have been attached with screws, but Bratton's lists theirs as coming with rivets. Are rivets the proper attachment and, if so, which way does the head of the rivet face?

Thanks.

The brackets face in, towards the center of the glass. They should be installed using rivets

RIvet heads to the outside
