I recall reading something about setting float levels and believe it was from the face the gasket sits on. I made up a setting level tool from an old floppy disc (remember them).
I will have a dig and see if I can find the details if you are interested

I seen a post on the US site lately that shows an original Honda gauge in action. It actually rests on the flange of the gasket face.
