MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Top trunnion position

Having a rebuild and I seem stumped. Does the top trunnion face outwards .,as shown in the manuals or inwards? as I have lots of angled front wheels at the moment and I can not get the steering to fit.

Great - As I read 'it looked right but was wrong' - swapped it over and the wheel now fouls the track end - I have not removed the arms from the king pin assy though. Will post photos later - got to pick kids up

Thanks for quick responces

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM perhaps I was a bit quick. After the school run I refitted the wheel to find the noise was coming from contact with the plastic milk bottle left to collect the brake fluid while I await new calipers.
