Speedo glass

Post by simonaoz »

I'm fitting new glass to my centre speedo. Should it be concave or convex?

Thanks

I reckon convex is best - concave gives strange reflections.

Yes I agree. Somerford Mini say it's a 'convex glass"

Silver face ones are concave, cream and mk1 black face are convex. All mk2 and mk3 are flat.
