If they are the small round ones (about 6mm diameter) from etb they have a small dimple in one end that should point outwards

That's my guess anyway

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

If they all point the same way it's worth a try before chipping them all off again.

Shouldn't matter as the sensor detects a change in magnetic field not direction.
Try it before you chisel them off...

When I was experimenting I found they all had to face the same way or I missed pulses.
I was using retangular ones, both the same way up and orinentaion.
Its easy to check, just get another magnet and see how it behaves against the prop as you turn.

If you do remove them i would drill a shallow 6mm hole to sit them in next time. This was recommended to me by ETB when i was experiencing problems
keeping them in place after use.
Obviously you still need to use good glue as well.
