Homelite ST-385 Trimmer S-Clutches

The S-clutches in these have a dimple on one side of them. I would have to assume that this means that they go on a certain way. Either dimple in or dimple out. The old ones were both dimple out but since these machines are old and who knows how many times they were apart, just wondering what the right way is?

I'm not sure of the dimple but they should be installed so the free point of the clutch is pointing toward the direction of rotation, if that makes sense.

That does makes sense. That is the way they would be with the dimple up. Many thanks!
