Default Spec twin disc allignment?

I was reading through the instructions of the spec twin disc. I dont see any kind of specs for the allignment of the two disc. I am curious as to know if the disc pucks are supposed to be offset or lined up together between the plate? Thanks for any information.

When I installed mine I lined both up the same. If it is possible try to find someone who has input shaft piece from the torque tube. I tried using the plastic alignment tool and it didn't line up the disk correctly.

Figured I'd post this over here, too.

I would think they should be positioned above each other, so that any clamping force is directed between the pucks, and not offset against the floater.
This would give greatest grip and also decrease any chance of flexion of the floater disc.
