Default Borgeson centering position?

Can someone who has done this install confirm that the flat spots on the box shaft be on top and bottom or better yet post a pic of the position of the rag joint in the straight ahead position.Getting ready to re install column and want to make sure I'm in the right place. I'm pretty sure I am but would like to see others.Thanks

I'm too dumb to post a pix but I can explain what i'm doing. The box is 3 turns lock to lock. Installed box and turned 1 and 1/2 turns from lock. Flats are top and bottom as you observe. Installed rag joint bottom half. Installed column almost in full place with steering wheel centered. Installed upper rag finding spline that would line up upper and lower rag bolt holes. Pushed column home. Box stayed centered. Wheel stayed centered. All other bolts etc line up. Note that upper rag set screw will NOT line up with steering shaft flat as so noted by Borgeson. ................Bob
