Driveline polarity

I don't like bothering people working at making a living and it's never fun advertising ignorance....but I asked Misters Brewer the question. They were kind enough to respond, saying:

The tapered end would go to the rear.

He didn't say why.

I have no clue how that fits with what AJ has found to be true. Maybe they are generally put together one way originally, but work better for some reason turned around?

I don't know.

What Brewer's say is fine with me! :cheers:
