i've got a question about the brakes on my 46 merc.they are all cleaned up and ready to put together.my question is,is there a position that the bottom cam #91a-2028 should be in,meaning the cam washer has a 90*angle in it how should that point be indexed ? (12 oclock,3 oclock ect) i'm not sure that my brake parts are correct for a 46 but this all i got. thank you,
 
It was the earlier style brakes 39-42 that used the bolt with the brass cam. The start position is with the dot stamped into the adjuster bolt pointed toward each other. Sorry for any confusion see Mart post below

Is it? I thought you start with the dots towards each other??

This seems to be mentioned in Rumbleseat's info posted in this thread: https://fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=279515

Also in the excerpt from the manual:

Yes, that's the starting point. In this position the eccentrics are furthest inward.
