Default XJ6 Series 3 front brake pad spring clip location ?

Hi all,
I came up with a question for everyone while installing my new front brake pad hardware. Are the spring clips ( anti rattle ? ) that are held by the pad pins supposed to go on the inside or outside of the pad ? I'm pretty sure they go on the inside but the parts & ROM manuals don't really show it clearly. Probably does not matter but here are pictures showing them both ways.


Springs to outside

Springs to inside


Thoughts everyone ?
Cheers!
Brian

They should go on the inside, here's a picture of mine with the springs in original position.
