Speedo glass- concave or convex ?

Post by Metronick »

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

Nick :)

I've only ever seen those with curved glass assembled Convex from the factory.

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

Nick is the expert

Thanks folks, that seems to be it :
Mk1- Silver faced- concave
Mk1- Black faced- convex
Mk2 on - flat

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