Where do the 2 flat spots on the gimbal bellow go? I am guessing they are there for clearance around the hinge pin area since there is one on each side?

Re: Bellows question

Well......Its already on the boat. I didn't know that it was marked until after I put the whole thing back together :( I have the 2 flat spots towards the bell housing, and they are next to the hinge pins. Just because it seemed like thats where they should go.

The reason I am worried about it now is because I noticed that the intake hose kinda rubs the bellow, in the back around the gimbal bearing area. Its seems like one of those flat spots in the bellow should be there so the hose does not rub threw.

I hate it when I get in a hurry and have to go back and do crap over....:mad:

Yep, the flat area goes to the top, forward. Whether or not it will cause a problem if put in wrong..... :confused: who knows?
