Goal Bolt Lengths

Does anyone have information on whether the 1/4-20 x 1 1/2 inch carriage bolts (BO7) attaching the casters and Kee Klamp flanges to the goal bases are intended to go head up or head down? We first assumed head up and installed them so, but they stuck out so far on the bottom they interfered with caster rotation.
They also made the bottom surface of the goal pretty ugly for reaching under with a picker-upper mechanism. So we inverted the bolts to head down and let the excess length stick up. We want to get a correct definition of the goal underside neighborhood before groping around under there developing lifting hardware.
Does anybody else have input on this? Thanks.
Dodd
