Default 51 F1 Fender Braces

Question for Ross and the F1 Guys. I am assembling my front sheet metal, as I tore it apart over a year ago I don't remember which way the brackets mount. The brackets will mount either way, which way does the C shaped channel face front or back?
Thanks Tony

My truck is a 1950, but I remember the C shaped channel faced forward when I removed them.

The same piece (p/n) is used on both sides, so it faces forward on one side and to the rear on the other.
