If so, just one side or both sides and which way does it go in (handle pointed to front of car)?

This is what I get for starting with a basket case!

Thanks in advance for any help!! Ron

Following this as well. I used some washers below to space mine down 1/8th inch to clear my racepack which is surface mounted. This shim looks like a much more appropriate method.
