Does it matter which direction weight rivets get installed? The weight itself is not symmetric (one side has a larger lead-in chamfer). Thanks! I did a search.

P.S. The outer rivet is the one farthest from the weight mounting hole, correct?

Don't believe it matters at all. I just matched mine to the inner rivet. Yes, outer, or tip is furthest from the pivot.
 
As far as which way it goes into the clutch, they should be put in so the rivet head will be forced into the weight by the direction of rotation. So when you go to put the weight back in the rivet head should be facing forward.
