As per the title, should the glass in a mk1,2 or 3 Mini speedo be concave or convex when correctly assembled ?
I've seen it in both ways and wondered which is correct?
Thanks

Silver mk1 are concave, pretty sure the cream and black mk1 are both convex.
Nick is the expert

All cream face ones are also convex. Only silver ones were always concave.
