They don't show notches so I had that right. However, you mentioned
centrifugal force in your first response and I remembered the rubber insert
has one open end and the other is closed. I have mine installed with the
open end at the outer tip where centrifugal force could throw the metal
strips out. (sigh)
Do over time.
But, I am smarted, I think.

When installed, the visible, outer edges should show no notches.
