The Army Way.
Just something I learned this weekend while helping a 22 Year Army Vet out.

Mine are all over the place. I would GUESS the opening is opposite the stem. (I could look it up, but I'm not going to break mine down just to rotate the ring).

When we mounted them at the Motor Pool the stem was opposite of the gap in the ring.
