GAS BOOT STAY QUERY

Hi just wondered as ive just purchased some new gas boot stays. before fitting them just wanted to ask, does it matter if they are fitted with a nut washer and bolt, or split pin? also not sure which way round the little metal plate goes on, daft i know but that was missing on mine.
Many thanks as always
Steve

Hi Steve,
I dont think it really matters if the little gas stays are fitted with nuts and bolts or Clevis pins and split pins, I have doubled up on the stays so I now have four fitted this helps quite a lot as I was getting through the stays at quite a rate!
As for the metal plate do you mean the one for the light switch?
Cheers
