Default Brushes in a prestolite starter

What is the correct oreintaion of the brushes in the holder? Should the positives be next to each other at the top where the positive batt. cable comes in or across from each other?

i think it will bolt in but with only two brushes it probably doesn't have enough torque to turn over a harley.
