Default Series 3 radius arm question

Hi everyone,
I just came back from pressing in new radius arm bushings at a shop. Somehow I had a brain cramp when pressing in the new big body bushings ( I need to do less talking and more thinking ), one of them is upside down ##**$% ( metal lip of arm on bottom side instead of top with the cup of bushing ). The shop is closed til Monday so I can't go back to fix it.
Does it really matter ?
I'll probably redo it anyway, but thought I'd check here first, thanks !

Cheers,
Brian

It probably does matter, but anybody who could tell you nowadays is already dead ! I'd keep it stock if it were me. Jaguar usually always had a reason for doing things a certain way, not all of them documented.

Thanks Fraser,
it was going to bug me even if it didn't matter, so I used a bench vise and BFH as a press to remove / reinstall. It's now in correctly and the new paint is drying.

Cheers,
Brian
