I guess you got every Alfa nut out there googling this, while everyone else is doing 100+mph to the mall! But oh so sweet to see a dealership Alfa sign perched high above a Fiat dealership awaiting for the arrival of the new 4C here on the east coast. I think they allotted 5 thousand cars for the whole nation. Can't wait to get a test drive. But it sure felt good to see that Alfa sign after eons, a loss of hope and clairvoyance.
I never had one of these apart, but it clearly shows on the triangle flange, the head of the bolt is towards the rear of the car, and the nut towards the front. Good luck with the repair. Hopfully you'll make it in time to get your Alfa to a Black Friday sales event at your local mall. I haven't seen an Alfa Romeo parked in the parking lot at one of those things for eons as well!
