The open side (usually has tape on it that's not supposed to be removed) goes down.
This side down, with tape intact.

Since it adjusts both ways, you could install it either way up, surely? Dave F. |

I put the double-action truss rod in upside down, and it worked fine, except the direction to turn the adjuster was the opposite of what one normally expects. Clockwise would increase relief instead of reducing it. This is what will happen if you put the truss rod in with the tape side up. --Steve |
