Default Power slot rotors-proper slot direction?

After seeing a picture of another brand of slotted rotors and seeing the slots in the opposite direction than mine I am wondering if I put mine on the right way. I remember the R & L on the rotors putting them on and am pretty sure I got them on the right sides respectively but after seeing that pic I started to second guess myself! I read about the direction issue on another forum on here and it was beat to death. I would just like to hear from someone that has powerslot rotors on their TT and see which direction the slots are going to put my mind at ease. If I really did put them on wrong and have since put about 500 miles on them I'm gonna die.

Default Depends on the internal design of those rotors...>>

Always default to the vane set-up if directional. If they have directional vanes, they should be installed so the rotors expel air as they rotate (Vanes sweeping to the rear). If the internal vanes are not directional it's a crapshoot, but common sense would want the dirt, debris, pad material grabbed by the slots to sweep from the inside to the outside too..(so the pic below will work for either configuration)

Default take a look at the rotors. if new, sometimes the rotational direction is spray painted on the

rotor itself. on my rotors, an arrow was etched into them.

Thats the way that my slots are. I would think this is correct for rotation?

Default If the vents are straight and don't point one way or the other, I was told.....

they should be that way. That is also the way they were labled to go on.
