1961 tach lens orientation

[Harwyn B.]

I'm putting the cleaned gauges back in after painting my instrument cluster and forgot the orientation of the tach lens. Convex side to the driver or concave? And detail for the nuts holding the gauges in place. Would someone direct me to a reference or tell me what the hardware detail should look like? Each step is a challenge.

Concave from the driver’s standpoint.

Thanks Mike. Any thoughts on the hardware (nuts) holding the gauges on the cluster?

Most of the vendors sell a kit of nuts for around 3 dollars
