Direction of splash pan bolts

I will always install a bolt such that gravity will keep it in place of the nut is lost. I have fount the only time this to be incorrect is when there is inadequate clearance to insert the bolt in that orientation.

The two bottom radiator mounting bolts are the only ones I can think of where the nuts are on top, and that sure made it harder to install and remove the cotter pins.

Oh, sure, remind me of all the "fun" of those two little beauties. (how long are your arms?)
