the side that sticks out the most goes towards the cltuch cover .There is not enough room the other way ,the centre hub will hit the flywheel bolt heads.hard to tell from the photo .give us a side profile of the ctuch plate

Its official I am the dumbist of the dumb c#@ts
Apparently when they panit FW on the clutch plate its the side that goes against the flywheel. Who would have guessed.
And if you put it on the wrong way then try to force the gearbox in to gear it will bend a new clutch plate...
