Lower support arm inner bushings

I'm getting ready to replace the inner bushings on the lower support arm in my 38. The shop manual says to align the flat top of the bushing with a special dummy bolt in the hole in the opposite end of the arm. The dummy bolt has a flat portion on it and from a picture it looks like the flat spot is just half the diameter of the bolt. Can anybody confirm that the proper angular alignment is to the centerline of the of the open end? I tried to scan a picture from my shop manual but I can't seem to get my scanner to work.

I need to do the same with my '41. It's very difficult to tell from the illustration if the 'dummy bolt' is cut on the centerline or a bit more. Maybe someone actually has an S.T. 5102 dummy bolt and can let us know. Barring any additional information, I'm going with the assumption that the cut is slightly more than centerline.
