Hi,
In almost every instance, the cottered end should be inboard, so that the pins are removable at need, and so that the cotters are unlikely to snag on things and people. If the clevis pins are needlessly long, it can be tempting to invert the pins, to save the paint, but that is about the wrong pin length. If correct-length pins still scratch the paint, then the tangs are too short. This is important, as, in addition to scratched paint, you will have an even harder time than usual in getting at the cotters.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
