Now, is there a specific direction that the link should be facing? I remember back in the day Connex links used to be positioned one way for 9sp, another for 10sp. Maybe that's another oversight.
Don't think direction matters. One reason i posted a photo above is so you can verify you have a part that exactly matches. fwiw it's possible there are counterfeits out there.
