The middle of the bale curves up (like an "n") when it is snapped into place (curve is down like a "u") when it is resting unsnapped at the bottom of the cylinder head.

I don't know whether the orientation of the hole matters, or what its function is.

I always remount them in the same way they were installed, which you can tell by the direction of the scrapes made by the bale. Holes are up.

Anyone know what these holes are for?
