midyear door and decklid alignment wedges

[fredd65]

hi,
finishing up my 65 convertible and not sure about the orientation of the aligment wedges...i know the plastic ones go on the body and metal on the doors and decklid, but not sure on the plastic ones where the round end goes and on the metal ones where the wider side goes...i was in windsor for the ncrs convention last summer and took some pictures of a supposedly correct car...the pictures show the plastic body wedges for the decklid having one rounded side to the front and on the other side to the rear...is this right?...also, do the metal ones all get one shim under them or shim as needed?...if anyone has any pictures or knows for sure it would be greatly appreciated
