?if you get it wrong over time the starter will push the ring gear out and will 
no longer engage.

However, Triumph seems to have assembled a goodly number of TR6 the other
way around.  Apparently the bevels are less important when using a
"pre-engaged" type starter, as they seem to have worked fine for many years
that way.

However, I agree with Phil, I'd install it with the bevels towards the
starter pinion.
