Default Fork seals?

OK so I'm gonna do the fork seals again tomorrow, hopefully for the last time as I also have new sliders!

I think I know the answer to this question but I just wanted to make absolutely sure I put them in the right way up. So from the pictures, which is the right way to install them, picture 1 or picture 2????

If they leak again, you'll find me hanging from the rafters in my garage by the neck!! So choose carefully






Thanks in advance for your answers guys

#1 pic is underside (bigger deeper channel for oil to exert force on/and seal)
#2 pic is upside (has # markings)


lightly lube when putting on vinyl elect tape on fork tube rim can help to sometimes

No smiling working on those fork tubes either

Cheers Sprock, just as I thought

Was just getting a bit paranoid thinking,

'Maybe it's not the fork tubes, maybe you're putting the seals in the wrong way round'

Still I'll have her back together soon and I'll be able to again, YIPEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
