Thanks Peter. But you can't have it both ways. It has to be either down or
toward the hub.
The manuals have pictures of both.
Maybe it really doesn't
matter.

[Healeys] Brake Caliper Piston Ques.
The cutout is designed to alleviate pad
squeal. Its efficacy is
questionable, but if you have the cutout, it should
be facing into
the rotor rotation, so downward and toward the hub for a rear
mounted caliper.
