I would not want to contradict AJ.
IMO, that flipper blade belongs on the side opposite the gap!
No exceptions.
My guess is that Alan was busy. You have to pay attention, because the split ring gets twisted around and I'm sure he used siwashs and then you got the flipper. Easy to get them on the wrong side.
Should not be saying this in public.... BUT, you should be switching those hooks out yourself. AJ's got enough going on.
Took another look at the pic. That's not the same Chevy Chase my mother gave me 50 years ago. Mine have a twisted wire (hole). Did they change things around?
