T-Series Which way does the clutch disc face?

Before I bolt everything up and find out I'm wrong which way does the clutch disc face? The flat side to the flywheel or the side with the raised inner portion towards the flywheel? There was no front marking or instructions with the clutch kit and I've seen pictures showing both ways.
 
The raised section normally is installed on the pressure plate side away from the flywheel. If installed the other way the raised section is in the same place as the flywheel bolts and bad things happen.

Correct.

Whenever I have a question about assembly, I look at the Moss site and browse thier tech illustrations (same as in catalog). A lot of times I get a quick answer to my question. Here's the one on their site for the MGB clutch

I figured that was the right way but I wanted to be sure as I'm sure sick of playing with an engine hoist. Engine is back in so hopefully I will have it buttoned up later this week and back on the road next weekend.
