New style suspension o-ring position

With the new style Tiger suspension, is the axle depth spacing designed with the o-ring on the outside of the hull side, or is the hole in the new hull side such that the o-ring fits inside ?

I'm sure I've seen a photo with the o-ring between the bush and the hull side, on the inside, but wonder whether that means the wheels end up closer to the hull side than anticipated ?

Answering my own question again - there's a pocket machined on the inside of the new Tiger lower hull plates into which the o-ring fits, so the axle alignment is not affected.

As I'm going to be putting new design axles into an old design hull, I'll have to see if I can machine that pocket into the hull sides.
