I can`t help with a diagram but if you bolt up the top of the caliper bracket the rest should be easy to figure out.

I'm gonna jump in on this instead of starting a new thread... are there two mounting positions on the steering knuckle? That one looks like a second hole but it looks to not be drilled through... my car of course is all greasy and dirty under there and i haven't looked yet to see if there are two mounting holes or just one.

There are two holes. The outer one is plugged with a rivet. My car is a power steering car and used the inside hole.
I am not sure, but the outer hole maybe for non-power steering vehicles.

Hi,
Sig, your right.
Cars without p/s have the tie-rod end in the rear hole.
Cars with p/s have the tie-rod end in the forward hole and at least 'originally' had a large aluminum plug, (looked like a rivet), in the rear hole.
Regards,
Alan
