Default Mk3 Escort Front Suspension & Bump Stops

Hey,

When i put my cabbie back together, i'm sure i may have put the front suspension struts back together incorrectly. Its been bugging me

Does anyone have a picture or know the procedure that the parts on the struts go on?? i.e.

Spring
Cap
Roller bearing thingy
Engine bay strut top
Nut

Somewhere amongst that lot goes a bumpstop, now the question is where abouts does it go?

Thankingyouplease

So effectively it "Slides over the shaft?" and "slides" up and down, but sits on top of the gas filled lower half?

Crude but you get what i mean
