First a pic of a fellow laser sailor’s gooseneck - notice how the hole is placed in the top half of the bracket.

It’s a spare part as well http://www.sailboats.co.uk/product~Laser_Gooseneck_L1331.html
What’s the correct direction of the spare hole? Up or Down? My hole is in the lower half? D)
What’s correct? Rules? It certainly doesn’t matter if you use the top or lower hole for a shackle/block-combo – two very different trimming angles for outhaul – top is best.
Relevant Rules:
iii. Additional purchases may be obtained by forming
rope loops in the line or adding “Optional” blocks
to the line, and/or using the outhaul fairlead,
the outhaul clam cleat, the boom, the mast or
gooseneck fitting.
An “Optional’ block may be attached to the outhaul
fairlead, provided Rule 3(f)ii is also satisfied.
An “Optional” block may be attached to the outhaul
clam cleat.
iv. An “Optional” block may be attached to the clew of
the sail, or to a quick release system, or be part of
a quick release system.
v. One or two “Optional” blocks may be attached to
the gooseneck fitting, or at the mast/gooseneck
junction with their “Turning Points” not more than
100mm from the center of the gooseneck bolt.
(The gooseneck may be inverted.)
